Harris and Trump square off in highly anticipated ABC debate

As a film enthusiast who has witnessed countless political dramas unfold over the years, I can confidently say that Tuesday’s debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Trump is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated sequels in recent memory. The stakes are high, the tension palpable, and the stage is set for a clash of titans that could sway the course of this nail-bitingly close contest.

In his own words, President Obama often emphasized that “elections bring about change.” One could also argue that the same principle applies to presidential debates as well.

51 days on, it’s rarely been truer that my sentiments echo so strongly – this statement rings particularly true following President Biden’s shaky and uncertain debate with former President Trump, which effectively sealed Trump’s dream of a second term in office.

6 p.m. PDT on Tuesday, Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris will have their initial and possibly final encounter. This discussion, which may reshape the tight race, is set to take place.

In this year’s 90-minute debate at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, the significance seems more profound than in previous TV-era elections where candidates often agreed to participate in at least two, if not three, debates during the general election.

The confrontation will air on ABC News, along with numerous other platforms. ABC journalists David Muir and Linsey Davis will serve as the hosts.

Whether the past is prologue, and what the past even means, will animate the contest.

59-year-old Harris is predicted to portray Trump’s term in office as a period marked by upheaval, division (especially towards immigrants), and limitations on individual liberties, with the most significant restriction being the challenge to a woman’s previously constitutionally-guaranteed right to choose abortion.

In a recent statement, Trump, aged 78, contends that during his tenure as president, America experienced a period of prosperity. He highlights that unemployment and inflation rates were relatively low, and foreign conflicts did not escalate significantly, thereby preventing the drain of billions of dollars from the U.S.

In the coming years from 2021 onwards, as we evaluate this period with Biden and Harris in the White House, the roles of power will likely shift compared to previous eras.

Trump plans to portray the past four years as a period marked by turmoil and instability, suggesting that inflation rates climbed steeply in the early years under Democrat leadership, and illegal crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border similarly increased significantly.

It’s likely that the Republican nominee will echo a phrase from a past GOP leader, Ronald Reagan. Four days before the final debate with President Carter in 1980, Reagan posed a question to the American people: “Are you feeling more prosperous than you were four years ago?

As a movie buff, I find myself eagerly anticipating Harris’s campaign strategy. She needs to strike a delicate balance – boasting about the achievements of the past four years while assuring us that as President, she would be uniquely equipped to handle two critical issues for many voters: economic hardship and immigration challenges.

In his argument, it’s likely the Vice President will emphasize the Democratic plans aimed at reducing drug costs, with a focus on lowering insulin prices, as well as proposals that help people financially, such as canceling student loan debts.

Trump and his team have attempted to link Harris with every weakness of Biden, even proposing that she is the real force behind the scenes guiding the Democratic government. However, it’s predicted that Harris will respond by stating that while she was present during key discussions, she was not the one who made the final decisions.

If Donald Trump continues down that path, Vice President Mike Pence could respond by asking: Was it Vice President Mike Pence who held significant influence within the Trump Administration?

The candidates vary significantly in their debate preparations. While Harris spent her time in Pittsburgh from late last week onwards, engaging in formal preparation that included simulated questions and responses.

In the rehearsals, Democratic strategist Philippe Reines, who had worked closely with Hillary Clinton for a long time, took on the role of Donald Trump.

In a conversation on the “Rickey Smiley Morning Show,” Harris stated that it’s important to anticipate his lack of honesty. He often prioritizes his own interests over those of the American people, a trait that may become evident throughout the debates.

Trump expressed during an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity that he doesn’t have a specific plan and will essentially adapt as the debate unfolds. He referenced boxing legend Mike Tyson, who said, “Everyone has a plan until they get hit.

Consistent with his pattern, Trump has been voicing concerns about being treated impartially by ABC anchors. He’s criticized the network, implying it serves the Democratic Party. Prior to the June 27 debate with Biden, he made a similar claim ahead of time, labeling CNN as “fake news” and accusing moderators Jake Tapper and Dana Bash of bias.

However, following a stumble by Biden, Trump’s advisors chose to maintain the spotlight on him, asserting that CNN and its anchors had been impartial. Instead, it was Biden’s team who criticized Bash and Tapper, arguing they should have challenged the ex-president for his numerous untruths.

During the June debate, Trump made several unverified statements such as implying that Biden orchestrated the legal proceedings against him, which has not been proven. Additionally, he stated an opinion, albeit one disputed by numerous surveys, that the American public supports the overturning of Roe vs. Wade to allow individual states to decide on abortion policies.

During the June debate hosted by CNN, the moderators mostly allowed the candidates themselves to point out each other’s inaccuracies. It remains uncertain if ABC’s Muir and Davis will step in, or if they will let the Vice President and former President take responsibility for fact-checking one another.
