Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris will face off on the debate stage in Philadelphia for the first time ever on Tuesday evening on ABC News for the first debate between the GOP and Democrat nominees for president in 2024.
Trump, who knocked out incumbent President Joe Biden from the presidential race in the first and only debate this cycle between the two of them back in June, will be looking for a similarly professional performance and to keep the race on its current trajectory which is breaking hard against Harris. Harris, meanwhile, needs to turn things around from the current free fall she has slid down into after her meteoric rise when Biden dropped out and she quickly ascended to the nomination without any votes.
The debate, which is set to begin at 9 p.m. eastern time, will be moderated by ABCâs David Muir and Linsey Davis. ABC, as Trump regularly correctly notes, has been one of the most biased of all the networks in favor of Democrats and against Republicans, so it will be interesting to see if Muir and Davis can be fair or if they try to team up with Harris to kneecap Trump.
The debate is also the first time Trump and Harris have ever met face to face, so seeing the interaction between the two candidates could end up making fireworksâor it could be as stale as an interaction can be. Betting markets are literally offering odds on whether the two even shake handsâso that could be a key tell when they take the stage as to how things will go.
Harris has avoided the press and public off-script moments since she ascended the Democrat Partyâs throne, so how she handles herself on a stage that will not allow pre-printed notesâcandidates are given pen and paper and can make live notes on stageâcould make or break her chances at remaining in the running for the presidency. Trumpâs campaign, meanwhile, prevailed in a fight to keep the same rules as the Trump-Biden debate from June which cuts off candidatesâ microphones when they are not speaking. Harrisâs team wanted to change the rules to try to use the live microphones to her advantage in a bid to bait Trump into coming across badly, but Harris failed in this respect.
Trumpâs campaign has said ahead of time that he is going to seek to use the opportunity on stage to do something many in media have failed to do: vet Harrisâs extremist and radically leftist record for the broader American public. Democrats and Harrisâs team, meanwhile, have been repeatedly trying to lower expectations for her in case she has a performance as bad as or close to as bad as Bidenâs back in June. Itâs too late at this point for Democrats to drop Harris like a bad habit like they did to Biden, so theyâre stuck with her come hell or high waterâand frankly, given Harrisâs historically abysmal performances without pre-written remarks…
