Harris and Trump to debate in major moment in election race
Presidential debates play a crucial role in American politics, and the upcoming face-off between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris on Tuesday is expected to be especially significant. This is their only scheduled debate, and with Joe Biden dropping out of the race after a poor performance in June, the stakes are higher than ever.
Despite being vice president for over three years, Kamala Harris remains relatively unknown to many voters. A recent poll found that 28% of likely voters still want to learn more about her. The poll also showed the race as a statistical tie, reflecting how closely divided the American electorate remains.
For Harris, this debate offers a chance to introduce herself and outline her vision to millions of viewers. Meanwhile, Trump, who thrives in the spotlight, will aim to regain momentum after a period where the Democrats have dominated the headlines. The outcome could significantly influence the tight race, with even small shifts potentially determining the election’s outcome.
