Clinton vs. Trump: Final presidential debate of 2016

The final presidential debate of 2016 took place in Las Vegas and was moderated by Chris Wallace of Fox News.

Wallace asked the candidates questions about the Supreme Court justices, the Second Amendment, abortion, border control, the economy and foreign hot spots.

More personal questions that were asked during the debate included the Clinton Foundation, Trump’s claim of a rigged election and each candidate’s fitness to be president.

Wallace wrapped up the debate by asking about the national debt and letting the candidates make their own closing statements. Both candidates used social media to emphasize the importance of fact checking during the debate.
