This summer’s presidential debate against Donald Trump marked the end of Joe Biden’s time as US president. The debate went so badly that Biden ended up withdrawing as the Democrats’ candidate. The baton was taken over by Vice President Kamala Harris. Now everyone is wondering how she will fare in her first debate against Trump, the Republican candidate. Preparations for the presidential debate are in full swing at the National Constitution Center museum in Philadelphia, where the debate will be held.

Unity and division The 90-minute long presidential debate takes place under the auspices of ABC News. It is currently the only scheduled debate between Trump and Harris before the November 5 presidential election. It is described as “the most important night in Vice President Kamala Harris’ political career”, in The New York Times. Kamala Harris arrived in Philadelphia on Monday ahead of the scheduled debate. Photo: Jacquelyn Martin / AP Harris has climbed the polls since taking over as the Democratic nominee. But some opinion polls have recently shown that her progress may be in the process of faltering. Throughout his short election campaign, Harris has tried to present himself as someone who can give Americans hope and unity. During the debate, it is expected that she will try to reinforce this impression and paint Trump as a man who feeds on hatred. This is how the debate will be conducted The debate between the Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and the Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris will take place on the evening of 10 September in the USA (11 September Norwegian time). The debate is hosted by ABC News and will be moderated by news anchors David Muir and Linsey Davis. It will last 90 minutes and have two commercial breaks. These are the rules: Only the moderators are allowed to ask questions. Each candidate is given two minutes to answer questions. You are then given two minutes to respond, and a further minute to follow up or elaborate. The microphones are switched off when it is the opponent’s turn to speak. The candidates must stand behind their podiums throughout the debate. They are not allowed to take notes with them, but are given a pen, a notepad and a bottle of water. There will be no opening remarks. Each candidate is given two minutes to make a closing statement.

Donald Trump criticized Kamala Harris when he addressed a police union in Charlotte, North Carolina, on September 6.

Many believe he will focus on the economy, immigration and crime, areas where the Democrats have been criticized for not pursuing an effective policy. – No crime committed by Kamala Harris has been greater than her nation-destroying border invasion. Something like this has never been seen before, Trump said when he recently spoke at a rally in Charlotte, North Carolina, Reuters reported. Consequences for the election Many are also excited about how Harris will handle the debate. She has so far only given one interview since she became a presidential candidate. For Trump’s part, there are several who wonder if he will have a matter-of-fact tone and stick to the topics he is asked about. Throughout the election campaign, Trump has also made disparaging comments against Kamala Harris related to her being a black woman with a South Asian background. On Sunday, metal fences were set up in front of the National Constitution Center museum in Philadelphia, where the presidential debate will take place. Photo: Tom Gralish / AP The presidential debate is considered an important opportunity for the candidates to show who they are, what policy they want to pursue, and how good they are at answering questions and handling pressure. The debate can therefore have major consequences. When Biden met Trump for a debate in June, his stuttering performance led to him withdrawing as a candidate after massive criticism. The presidential debate between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon in 1960 is often cited as an example of how important debates can be. There, Kennedy appeared young, calm and comfortable, in contrast to an apparently sweaty, stressed and tired Nixon. But the outcome of presidential debates does not necessarily say anything about the outcome of the election. Many believed that Hillary Clinton won the debate against Donald Trump in 2016. But it was Trump who became president. Listen to the foreign editor’s podcast: Kamala Harris and Donald Trump will finally meet for a debate for the first and perhaps last time before the election.
