Tonight’s debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump is expected to be a pivotal moment in the presidential race, as polls show a dead heat between the two candidates. Held at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia and hosted by ABC News, the 90-minute debate will be moderated by David Muir and Linsey Davis. This will be the first debate between Harris and Trump, with previous debates prompting significant shifts in poll numbers.
Key issues to watch for include whether either candidate will deliver a knockout blow, Trump’s potentially insensitive comments about Harris’s racial identity, and Harris’s stance on her policies, particularly on US support for Israel and immigration. The Harris campaign will be fact-checking in real-time, as Trump is expected to make false statements during the debate.
The Trump campaign has already criticized the moderators, suggesting that failure to challenge Harris adequately could invalidate the debate. Meanwhile, the HArris-Walz campaign will be hosting a drone show over the Philadelphia Museum of Art as a pre-debate event. Concerns have also been raised about the location of the Republican National Committee’s watch party at a gun store in Georgia, close to a recent school shooting site.
The debate takes place amidst a tight race, with polls showing a tie nationally and swing states expected to determine the outcome. Both candidates will be looking to make their case to voters and gain an edge in the race for the presidency. The outcome of tonight’s debate could have significant implications for the rest of the campaign.
