Donald Trump clashed with Hillary Clinton during the first presidential debate of the 2016 elections on Monday. They constantly interrupted each other in a vigorous back-and-forth on the debate stage at Hofstra University, as polls showed them locked in a tight race.
The two confronted each other over the US economy, ISIS, gun control, Clinton’s use of a private email server and Trump’s unwillingness to release his income tax returns.
Concluding Arguments
Both candidates concluded the first presidential debate by saying they will accept the outcome if the other wins.
Clinton spoke directly to viewers and said, “It’s not about us, it’s about you.”
Trump, however, initially dodged moderator Lester Holt’s question about accepting the result if his rival wins, saying he would make a “seriously troubled” America “great again.” He added: “I’m going to be able to do it. I don’t believe Hillary Clinton will.”
