Watch Harris and Trump’s first debate.
Welcome to Boston Post News, where we bring you the latest updates on the upcoming presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. This highly anticipated event is set to take place in Philadelphia, marking the first time these two candidates will meet face-to-face. With the election just around the corner, the stakes are high as the candidates battle it out in crucial battleground states.
In a new CBS News poll, Trump and Harris are neck and neck in states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, adding to the suspense and excitement leading up to the debate. Originally scheduled as a rematch between Trump and President Biden, the dynamics shifted when Biden decided to withdraw from the race, paving the way for Harris to step into the spotlight as the Democratic nominee.
The days leading up to the debate have been filled with drama as both campaigns sparred over the rules. Harris insisted on having microphones on throughout the debate, while Trump stood firm on following the same protocol as the first debate with Biden. Ultimately, muted microphones will be in place, leaving Harris concerned about being “fundamentally disadvantaged” by the format.
The 90-minute debate will be moderated by ABC’s David Muir and Linsey Davis, with both candidates standing behind podiums. No props or prewritten notes will be allowed on stage, and there will be no live audience present. Other TV networks will have the opportunity to simulcast the debate, allowing viewers across the country to tune in.
Leading up to the debate, Harris has been honing her skills in Pittsburgh through mock debates, while Trump has been engaging in informal policy discussions with advisers. This ABC-hosted debate is the only one that both candidates have committed to at this point, with Trump proposing additional debates on Fox News and NBC News. However, Harris has only agreed to Tuesday’s debate, leaving the possibility of one more debate in October open.
