As the presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris draws closer, the stark differences in their preparation methods are becoming clear. Trump, the Republican nominee, has been holding rallies and dismissing the importance of debate prep, while Vice President Harris is intensely focused on crafting her responses during a weekend of debate preparation in Pennsylvania.
Both candidates are vying for voter attention in crucial swing states, with Harris in Pennsylvania and Trump in Wisconsin.The polls show a tight race, making this upcoming debate a pivotal moment.
Harris preps, trump hits the trail
While Harris hunkers down with her team to fine-tune her responses for the debate, Trump continues his campaign stops, relying on his instincts rather than structured preparation. He remarked during a town hall with Fox News host Sean Hannity, “You can go in with all the strategy you want, but you have to feel it out as the debate’s taking place.”
In contrast, Harris has been working closely with Democratic consultants to sharpen her message against Trump, focusing on issues like the economy, abortion, and law enforcement. She has repeatedly emphasized that Trump’s disregard for the truth will be evident during the debate.
