Vice President Kamala Harris is preparing for her upcoming debate with former President Donald Trump, focusing on weaving her biography into her responses and also making history-making negative remarks about her.
Since declaring her campaign, Harris has not taken part in a debate in the last four years and has given only a few interviews to the media.
To prevent her from underestimating Trump on Tuesday, her assistants are meticulous in their preparation.
Harris has taken part in lengthy simulated debates centered on particular topics since Thursday.
As of Friday morning, there has not been a complete rehearsal of the 90-minute debate. She intends to set up scenarios in which Trump might lash out like he has in the past and to poke fun at him if he misrepresents facts or distorts the truth.
The VP’s aides are adamant that if a moment occurs in which Trump speaks derogatorily of her, Americans should see and hear it.
They continue to urge the debate host network, ABC News, to open the candidates’ microphones whenever there is over-talk or exchange between them. When it is her turn to speak, she plans to showcase her experience in elected office and as a prosecutor to make the case that she’s qualified for the job of president.
Also she intends to show some daylight between her domestic or economic policies if elected and those that Biden has advocated for, adhering to the axiom that there is only one president at a time when it comes to those issues.
She will also make some unannounced political stops while there, hoping that just by being there she’ll get some additional media coverage in an important market.
