During the first presidential debate of the 2024 U.S. election, Republican candidate and former President Donald Trump faced off against Democratic candidate and current Vice President Kamala Harris. The two candidates did not address the highly anticipated climate change issue extensively, and neither provided direct answers to the questions posed. Trump, in particular, was criticized for seemingly ignoring the question and providing off-topic responses.
