Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are set for their first in-person debate at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia on September 10th. Harris has prepared by using a stand-in for Trump, while Trump continues his informal 'policy time' preparation strategy, now enhanced by the addition of Tulsi Gabbard to his team. Gabbard's previous clashes with Harris during the 2020 Democratic primaries add a unique tension to the upcoming encounter. Both candidates approach the debate with differing perspectives, with Harris viewed as the underdog against Trump's extensive debate experience. Trump's campaign schedule leading up to the debate is light, focusing on key issues such as inflation and immigration. This debate follows a tumultuous June debate for Trump against President Biden and is expected to significantly impact the political landscape.
