Kamala Harris gears up for High-Stakes showdown with Trump

This week marks a pivotal moment in the 2024 race as Vice President Kamala Harris takes the debate stage for a much-anticipated showdown with Donald Trump.

The 90-minute face-off in Philadelphia presents Harris with her biggest opportunity yet to challenge Trump directly and solidify her vision for America’s future.

With both candidates locked in a tight race, the stakes couldn’t be higher for Harris, who has surged in the polls since becoming the Democratic nominee.

With microphones set to mute for portions of the debate, Harris may find her prosecutor skills tested in an event that could determine the direction of the race.
