Trump v Harris Debate 2024 - LFG

In an extraordinary election campaign, the prime-time debate will catapult the campaigns of Donald J. Trump and Kamala Harris into the two-month sprint to November.

Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald J. Trump will square off Tuesday night for what could be their only debate of the compressed presidential election campaign, with the race exceedingly close and voters still craving more information about the Democratic nominee.

The stakes are high for both candidates. For Ms. Harris, the debate on ABC, scheduled to begin at 9 p.m. Eastern time, will be an opportunity to show voters hoping for change that she is the candidate to help the nation turn the page on an era of extraordinary division. For Mr. Trump, it is yet another chance to try to show discipline as he seeks to portray Ms. Harris as a California liberal who is out of step with voters worried about inflation, crime and illegal immigration.
