The upcoming Presidential TV debate between Democratic candidate Kamala Harris and former Republican President Donald Trump on October 10th local time is approaching. The preparation for this debate is crucial as it is taking place less than 60 days before the election day, with no additional debate scheduled. The pressure is especially high on Harris, who replaced President Joe Biden after a single debate defeat. The focus for Harris in this debate is to establish a positive image that is less known compared to Trump. The strategy is to highlight Trump’s self-destructive instincts and present herself as a calm and presidential candidate. Harris is expected to use her skills in persuasion, timing, and humor to connect with voters. However, the concern remains about Trump’s experience in debates, as he has faced Clinton in the past. The Trump camp is advised to focus on policy issues instead of personal attacks during the debate. Harris will likely delve into Trump’s stance on abortion, while Trump may criticize Harris for inconsistencies in her policy positions. Both candidates are preparing intensively for the debate, with Harris staying in Pittsburgh to focus solely on preparation, while Trump is meeting with advisors to check anticipated questions. The debate outcome is crucial for Harris, who has more to lose than Trump according to some observers. The focus will be on policy areas such as abortion and fracking, where the candidates’ positions may differ. Despite the preparations, uncertainty remains about how Trump will approach the debate and whether he will change his tactics from previous debates. The debate is expected to be a significant moment for swing voters, with Harris aiming to define herself positively and Trump attempting to regain lost ground.
