Clinton and Trump in last presidential debate as ugly campaign race nears finish

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton facing off during the first presidential debate at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York.

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump’s ugly and acrimonious battle for the White House is barreling toward the end, with the candidates taking the debate stage early this morning for one final primetime showdown.

For Mr Trump, the debate was perhaps his last opportunity to turn around a race that appears to be slipping away from him.
