WASHINGTON (AP) — Tuesday’s presidential debate will give Americans perhaps their most detailed look at a campaign that’s been dramatically reshaped.
Kamala Harris and Donald Trump will meet for the first time face-to-face at 9 p.m. in Philadelphia.
For both of them, it’s a high-pressure opportunity to showcase their starkly different visions for the country after a tumultuous campaign summer.
Trump, a 78-year-old white man, has struggled to adapt to Harris, the first woman, Black person or person of South Asian descent to serve as vice president.
Harris, meanwhile, will face a rare round of sustained questioning.
She has sat for only a single formal interview in the six weeks since taking over the Democratic ticket.
