Kamala Harris to Use Shorter Podium in Debate
News summary

Vice President Kamala Harris will be using a shorter podium than former President Donald Trump during their upcoming debate to diminish the significant height difference, which has become a notable topic of discussion. According to sources, both campaigns were informed about the different podium sizes, a practice that has been utilized in previous debates, such as when Hillary Clinton had a custom podium in 2016. The height disparity is among the largest in U.S. presidential history, with Trump claiming to be 6'3'' and Harris at 5'4'' (or 5'7.5'' in heels). The adjustment has drawn mixed reactions, with some voters mocking the optics on social media. Additionally, a Trump campaign official likened Harris's podium to the 'kids' table at Thanksgiving.' As both candidates prepare for this critical debate, the focus on their physical presence highlights the ongoing political dynamics in the race for the White House.
