Trump-Harris first presidential debate: What to watch for on Tuesday
Al Jazeera
The candidates will go head-to-head for the first and perhaps only time before voters head to the polls in November.
Former United States President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are preparing to face-off in their first presidential debate, with the election less than two months away.
Tuesday’s debate will be the first time Trump and Harris — the candidates for the Republican and Democratic parties, respectively — will share a stage. The two have never met in person.
The debate is also set to be a reflection of how dramatically the race has shifted in recent months.
Trump was originally expected to face President Joe Biden at Tuesday’s event. But after an initial debate in June, Biden quit the race amid pressure over his stumbling performance and advanced age.
The Democratic Party has since rallied around Harris, naming her its nominee for the presidency.
