Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump began the third and final
debate of the 2016 US presidential campaign Wednesday,
with the stakes high for the Republican challenger, who
has faltered in the polls.
The Democratic and Republican nominees took the stage
in Las Vegas without shaking hands for a 90-minute
televised clash before tens of millions of viewers, with just
20 days to go before Americans vote on November 8.
Both candidates were somber and unsmiling as they
tackled the first question pitched at them by moderator
Chris Wallace of Fox News, about the US Supreme Court
and how they would choose justices to serve on it.
Trump sought to reassure the Republican Party’s
conservative base, stressing he would appoint judges who
are opposed to both abortion rights and imposing
additional controls on gun ownership.
Clinton criticized the current Republican-controlled
Congress for impeding President Barack Obama’s attempts
to fill a vacant Supreme Court seat, and said she supports
abortion rights.
“I will defend women’s rights to make their own health
care decisions,” she stressed. “We have come too far to
have that turned back now.”
