God... such a contrast between this, and the absolutely loathsome, joyless, creepy, inhuman, fascist psychopath on the other team.

The difference is night and day.

Prosecutor v felon: US prepares for presidential debate between Harris and Trump

Sun 8 Sep 2024 11.00 BST



It will be a study in contrasts around age, gender, race, temperament and policy. It will also be the first time in US presidential history that a former courtroom prosecutor will take the debate stage alongside a convicted criminal with the White House at stake.

Vice-President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee, has served as a trial lawyer, district attorney and state attorney general in California. Former US president Donald Trump, her Republican rival, has been convicted of 34 counts of falsifying business records to cover up a sex scandal.

The pair will go head to head in Philadelphia on Tuesday night in their first – and perhaps only – debate, just 75 days after Joe Biden’s dire performance against Trump triggered a political earthquake that ultimately forced him from the race for the White House.

Few expect such a transformative result this time. But Trump has his last best chance to end Harris’s extended “honeymoon” while the Democrat is aiming to prosecute her opponent’s glaring liabilities before tens of millions of voters watching on live television.

“It’s the first time Donald Trump is actually going to be cross-examined in front of the American people,” said Tara Setmayer, a former Republican communications director on Capitol Hill. “Kamala Harris’s career and experience as a prosecutor, attorney general and a senator is something that Trump should not underestimate in this debate.”

NYTimes Siena Poll: Trump 48 Harris 47

New Poll Suggests Harris’s Support Has Stalled After a Euphoric August

Is Kamala Harris’s surge beginning to ebb?

That’s the question raised by this morning’s New York Times/Siena College poll, which finds Donald J. Trump narrowly ahead of her among likely voters nationwide, 48 percent to 47 percent.

To me, the result is a bit surprising. It’s the first lead for Mr. Trump in a major nonpartisan national survey in about a month. As a result, it’s worth being at least a little cautious about these findings, as there isn’t much confirmation from other polls.

This election maybe a toss up. I wouldn't put it pass the American people to want to become more like Russia or Hungery,

I hate to say this but Trump very well could win this election. Harris needs to get out their, on the t.v and list her platform. Trump is kicking her ass. He maybe 20 years older but he is campaigning for 2 hours straight and 2-3 interviews per week. Harris is coming off as a joke.

Makes me sad but it is true.

My next prediction on the 15th is looking to be within 2% for the popular vote. Ga, arizonia are gone for harris and pa is about to flip.

What on earth do so many people see in Trump, a man so abominably vile and disgusting I can barely find the words to describe him. I can understand him getting 20-25% support – he will always have a base of MAGA cult morons – but edging up to 45-50% is beyond insane, and incomprehensible to me.

Given the trends I wouldn't rush to say that GA is "gone" or that PA is "about to flip." Both are tossups that are trending Harris. Furthermore, AZ is still within the margin of error (that is, it's within reach).
