Kamala Harris and Donald Trump meet for the first time face-to-face for perhaps their only debate, a high-pressure opportunity to showcase their starkly different visions for the country after a tumultuous campaign summer. The event offers Americans their most detailed look at a campaign that’s dramatically changed since the last debate in June. In rapid fashion, President Joe Biden bowed out of the race after his disastrous performance, making way for his vice president, and Trump survived an assassination attempt at a rally. Harris is intent on demonstrating that she can press the Democratic case against Trump better than Biden did. Trump, in turn, is trying to paint the vice president as an out-of-touch liberal while trying to win over voters skeptical he should return to the White House, following a tumultuous four years that reached a boiling point on January 6th. As the two rivals are set to face off for the first time, FRANCE 24 is joined by Todd Belt, Professor and Director of the Political Management Program at George Washington University’s Graduate School of Political Management (GSPM).
