Donald Trump has launched a series of attacks on Kamala Harris as they prepare for their highly anticipated debate scheduled for Tuesday night.
Using his Truth Social platform, Trump has been vocal, starting with a Monday post where he quotes Bernie Sanders, claiming that Harris only shifted her policies for the election. Harris responded by sharing critical posts about Trump and releasing a campaign video on X (formerly Twitter) labeling him a “liar.”
This debate marks the first time since President Joe Biden debated Trump back in June. Following Biden’s poor performance, he stepped back from the race and endorsed Harris. Despite strong polling initially, Harris appears to be facing challenges as the debate approaches, with both campaigns vying for the top spot.
In the lead-up to the debate, both candidates have been busy trading barbs online. Trump’s activity has ramped up significantly, sharing various posts and polls that indicate a potential lead over Harris. He has also criticized her handling of inflation and the Biden administration’s policies, dubbing her a “total phony” and accusing her of prioritizing an ultra-left agenda.
Meanwhile, Harris’s social media presence has been more measured. She has shared campaign ads directly targeting Trump, warning of the dangers he poses to national security and reproductive rights.
As both candidates continue to engage in this heated exchange, Tuesday’s debate is shaping up to be intense. With rules in place to control the debate dynamics, including muted microphones during responses, viewers can expect a fiery exchange.
As each party prepares for battle, the tension and stakes are palpable, setting the stage for what promises to be an electrifying debate.
