Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are set to face off in a highly anticipated debate in Philadelphia on Tuesday night. This will be the first time the two will meet in person, and it comes just over two months after President Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance led to his exit from the race. The debate, hosted by ABC News, will be the only televised exchange between the candidates before Election Day in November.
Trump’s surrogates have indicated that he plans to challenge Harris on views she’s changed over the years, including on fracking and immigration. They also aim to tie Harris to decisions made under the Biden administration, such as the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. On the other hand, Harris released her policy platform, focusing on lowering taxes, affordable housing, reproductive freedoms, and supporting veterans.
As the debate approaches, Trump has been focusing on his legal issues, including a delay in his sentencing in a New York state conviction and ongoing appeals in other cases. Meanwhile, the debate between Ohio U.S. Sen. J.D. Vance and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is scheduled for October 1. With both candidates gearing up for the debate, the stakes are high as they seek to present their visions for the country and sway voters ahead of the election.
