Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are set to face off in a highly anticipated debate in Philadelphia on Tuesday. This will be Trump’s first debate since ending President Biden’s reelection hopes earlier this year. Harris, making her debut in a general election debate, aims to defend her record and challenge Trump.
The debate, hosted by ABC, will last 90 minutes and is expected to be intense. Trump, who has previously debated Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden, hopes to paint Harris as a radical and ineffective leader. Republican strategist Scott Jennings believes Trump’s goal is to make Harris seem extreme and out of touch.
Harris, on the other hand, will try to highlight the achievements of the Biden administration while sidestepping criticism over issues like inflation. Her strategy is to focus on Trump’s controversial past and present herself as a stable and thoughtful leader.
Recent changes in the presidential race have made things more urgent. After a bad debate performance, President Biden dropped out, and Kamala Harris was chosen as the new Democratic candidate. This shift has rallied the Democratic supporters and made the race with Trump much closer. Trump has also faced difficulties, including an assassination attempt and picking a new running mate.
The debate is a key moment for both candidates. Trump plans to challenge Harris and make her look bad, while Harris will try to highlight her skills and experience. They have agreed on a debate setup with no notes and muted microphones to keep things fair.
With only eight weeks until Election Day, the debate could be a key factor in swaying undecided voters.
