Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are meeting for the first time face-to-face for perhaps their only debate before November’s presidential election, a high-pressure opportunity to showcase their starkly different visions for the country after a tumultuous campaign summer. The matchup is offering 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, and Trump survived an assassination attempt. Harris, intent on demonstrating that she can press the Democratic case against Trump better than Biden did, walked up to Trump’s lectern to introduce herself as the debate opened. “Kamala Harris,” she said, extending her hand to Trump, who received it in a handshake. 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. As the high-stakes presidential debate sets the tone in the lead-up to November’s presidential election, FRANCE 24’s François Picard is joined by Zachary L Oberg, Vice President of the Higher Education Tournament of the French Debating Association, English Teacher at Télécom ParisTech.
