According to a poll by The New York Times and Siena College, the Republican candidate has a lead over the Democrat in voting intention (48% vs. 47%), so the televised debate will be an opportunity for both to rally support ahead of the race for the White House.
The candidates for the November 5 presidential election Donald Trump and Kamala Harristhey are confronted with a this tuesday important television debate trying to influence indecisive people.
Both will face off at the ABC network’s Philadelphia studios, where they will star in what will likely be the only one debate of the Campaign electoral. The previous confrontation between Democrats and Republicans – between Trump and Biden, on June 27 – will go down in history because it hastened the withdrawal of the candidacy of the current Democratic president.
The tightness of the polls further increases the relevance of the debate. According to the latest research publisheda study of The New York Times and Siena College puts Trump at 48% voting intent among likely voters, one point ahead of Harris. The poll has a three-point margin of error, so victory could go to any of them.
While Trump’s campaign has had a relatively difficult time following Biden’s departure, this survey shows that the Republican is maintaining and retaining his support.
Both prepare thoroughly, although neither recognizes it
This became clear on Saturday New York Times, Kamala Harris has locked herself away for five days in a hotel in Pittsburgh (Pennsylvania, Philadelphia) and reproduced a scenario similar to that of the debate, with a ‘double’ of Donald Trump who dresses and speaks like him.
trumpOn the other hand, he claims he needs no training. “I’ve been preparing for this debate my whole life. … You have to know your subject, live with your subject, I live with my subject: I live with all the terrible problems that (the Democrats) have created. We’ve had meetings, yes, we’ve talked, but there’s not much you can do about it. You either know your subject or you don’t,” he said in an interview in New Hampshire this week.
However, according to ABC News, the Republican candidate is celebrating informal sessions with a small team of advisorsincluding Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz and former Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard.
Gaetz has trained Trump to learn how to respond to the toughest questions, especially those Harris might ask him about her legal troubles.
Trump’s inner circle fears that the candidate will not focus on the politics (on Harris’s perceived shortcomings) but will soon descend into the personal, as he could do when he feels cornered, revealing a Trump who captivates his audience but is hard to win over among those who doubt him.
The Republican, on the other hand, has a much broader theater domain in his favor than Harris’s.
The debate rules have been carefully negotiated by the candidates’ teams, who have decided to maintain the conditions of the Biden/Trump debate: performing without an audience, limited time to speak or respond, no contact with their teams or during breaks, and no written notes taken in advance.
The most delicate issue was that of the muted microphones: here Harris’s team tried in vain to leave the microphones open, justifying this on the grounds that they would be at a disadvantage by making direct exchanges impossible and thus protecting Trump from the most serious problems. spontaneous reactions, as they claimed to ABC.
