WATCH: ‘I had nothing to do’ with Jan. 6 riot, Trump says | ABC Presidential Debate

Former President Donald Trump claimed he had nothing to do with the Jan. 6 riot by his supporters that aimed to stop the counting of electoral ballots that formally elected Joe Biden as president in 2021, and instead falsely blamed former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. “I had nothing to do with that, other than they asked me to make a speech. I showed up for a speech. I said, ‘I think it's gonna be big’,” Trump said during his debate with Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday. Trump was responding to a question from moderator David Muir who asked him whether he had any regrets about that day. Many of the Trump supporters who participated in the Jan. 6 riot had come directly from a rally where the former president urged them to march toward the Capitol. Some supporters forced their way into the building in a bid to stop the counting of ballots and engaged in violent confrontations with police. Harris and Trump met for their first and possibly only debate on Sept. 10, hosted by ABC in Philadelphia. Harris replaced President Joe Biden as the Democratic presidential nominee this summer after Biden gave a troubling debate performance in June, increasing calls for him to drop out of the race. According to the latest PBS News/NPR/Marist poll, more than two-thirds of Americans say they will watch all or most of the debate. While many voters have already made up their minds, 14 percent of Americans say the debate will have a great impact on which candidate they choose.
