Harris, Trump tonight face to face, debate can be crucial

Former President Donald Trump is in the republic, trying to regain office after a four-year pause.

On the other hand, Vice President Kamala Harris, the democratic candidate who has increased enthusiasm while Americans wonder if she will go out to win the White House.

The campaign and dictionary used so far have created the impression that Tuesday's presidential debate will be like a strong boxing match.

In the recent debate, former President Trump triumphed. A few weeks after the poor showing in that debate, President Joe Biden announced his withdrawal from the race for re-election. Now, the former president will face the new Democrat candidate Harris, who has only been running for weeks.

But analysts say that in this tight race, where both will compete for support from a deeply divided electorate, the debate may be crucial.

They have very different styles. Mr. Trump has hit Mrs. Harris' intelligence and predicts his chances against her are better than his former Democrat rival, President Biden.

He (President Biden) is smarter than that”, said former President Trump.

Mrs. Harris, while taking a break from preparations for the debate, visited a store.

I left the debate to see the spices. The best thing I've done thus far, said Mrs. Harris as he was asked what he wants to accomplish during the debate?

There's a lot of things, but it's time to stop division and build a new road before”.

The June Trump-Biden debate had more than 51 million viewers. Analysts expect large figures even for this debate, during which there is high expectations for both contenders.

“Trump must prove that he can be a persistent and aggressive president as he wants to be without being rude, if he will win voters that are not yet determined. Kamala Harris must prove that he may attack but also withdraw. It must prove that there is a difference between its policies and President Biden's, but still acts on the same democratic platform”, says Nate French from the University of Way Forest50.

The designers will ask candidates on key issues such as the economy, reproductive rights, foreign policy and other issues. Candidates can't write notes with them. They are allowed to have a pen, paper and water, and they will have two minutes to answer questions.

For some reason, debates enable candidates to say the things they want, their aspirations, without having to explain how they will make vows. But where the debate becomes important is how they articulate their attitudes, showing what they will look like”, says Jeremi Suri, professor at Texas University.

The debate takes place in Philadelphia on Tuesday night. / VOA
