Harris and Trump Prepare for High-Stakes Debate Amid Putin Endorsement Controversy

The upcoming presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, scheduled for September 10, is shaping up to be a pivotal moment in the 2024 election campaign. Both candidates have agreed to debate rules, including muted microphones when it’s not their turn to speak, though Harris’s campaign is still negotiating some details with ABC News.In a surprising turn of events, Russian President Vladimir Putin has expressed support for Harris, stating, ‘We will do the same, we will support her. Harris’s smile is very impressive’. Trump reacted with discomfort to Putin’s endorsement, saying at a rally in Wisconsin, ‘I knew Putin, I knew him well. He supported Kamala. I was very uncomfortable with this’.As the debate approaches, Trump has escalated his rhetoric, threatening legal action against those he accuses of election fraud. On his social media platform, Trump wrote, ‘WHEN I WIN, those people that CHEATED will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law, which will include long term prison sentences’. This has raised concerns about potential abuse of power if Trump were to be re-elected.Harris, who is currently leading in polls and fundraising, has been intensively preparing for the debate since Thursday. As a former prosecutor, she is expected to leverage her courtroom experience, aiming to appear ‘strong but not vengeful’. The debate will be a test of Harris’s ability to connect with voters and present a clear vision for the country.With both candidates facing unique challenges – Harris needing to introduce herself to a broader audience and Trump needing to control his temperament – the debate is seen as a crucial moment in the campaign. As Joshua Zive, a lobbyist and commentator, noted, ‘they have no reason to take big risks’ with polls being ‘as tight’ two months before the election.
