The matchup marked a pivotal moment during the final sprint of a close race for the White House and saw Trump and Harris lay out starkly different visions for the future of America.
While it started with a handshake, the debate quickly saw the Democratic vice-president and Republican former president zero in on each other's records.
Homeland Security takes steps to tighten asylum rules at Canadian border
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security says people seeking asylum at the border with Canada will have less time to consult a lawyer before making their case, as President Joe Biden's asylum halt makes its way to Canada’s doorstep.
Biden announced sweeping changes mostly targeted at the U.S. border with Mexico in June, as the issue remains a thorn in the Democrats' side ahead of the November election. The new procedural changes, which the department confirmed Tuesday, will affect migrants crossing into the U.S. from Canada.

Wednesday's agenda and its theme of "Make America Strong Once Again" will give leaders around the world insight into the potential impact of a second Donald Trump presidency.

Trudeau to tell allies to stay resolute as Ukraine at centre of NATO summit
Canada will be reassuring allies of its commitment to the western alliance as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau travels to Washington, D.C., this week to take part in the NATO leaders' summit at a critical time for war-ravaged Ukraine.
The 32 NATO countries are set to mark the alliance's 75th anniversary in the same city where the initial treaty was signed.

'It came from the sky': Saskatchewan farmer finds hunk of space junk in field
Barry Sawchuk doesn’t usually concern himself with space or the final frontier.
The 66-year-old Saskatchewan farmer is much more focused on seeding.
But when he found a giant piece of debris in his fields, Sawchuk said he was shocked to learn it was likely part of a rocket.
“Not every day you go out in your field and find space junk,” Sawchuk said with a laugh in an interview from the front seat of his tractor.
Trudeau says Saskatchewan to get carbon rebates despite province not paying levies
Justin Trudeau says residents in Saskatchewan will continue to get carbon rebates while the province says it's not worried by the prime minister's push to get the Canada Revenue Agency to collect money owed.
The Saskatchewan government decided earlier this year not to remit the federal carbon price on natural gas to Ottawa, a move that breaks federal law.
Trudeau said Tuesday in Saskatoon that the Canada Revenue Agency has mechanisms to collect the money from the province.
Review of priest accused of sexual assaults in Nunavut finds Oblates unaware
An independent review of a priest accused of sexually abusing Inuit children in Nunavut says his Catholic order wasn’t aware of the allegations when he returned to France.
Retired Superior Court justice André Denis led the review into 93-year-old Johannes Rivoire.
Denis found the Oblates of Mary Immaculate didn't know Rivoire was being investigated by Canadian police when he arrived in France in 1993, and the religious order was not contacted by RCMP when charges were laid five years later.
