The first Presidential Debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump will air on Tuesday, September 10th, on ABC* (9 pm EST). The highly anticipated event will feature both candidates sparring for an hour about current events in the United States.
Key topics will likely include the economy, inflation, border security, abortion, gun violence, and more. Former President Donald Trump saw a massive uptick in support after the failed assignation attempt just days before the Republican National Convention (RNC). At the RNC, many of Trump’s competitors and political comrades threw their support behind Trump as he walked his way to the party’s nomination.
After the RNC concluded, Joe Biden suspended his reelection campaign and formally endorsed Kamala Harris. Harris was announced as the party’s official nominee at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in mid-August. The DNC also showed massive support for Harris, with many of her peers praising her for her road to the White House and her work with current President Joe Biden.
