00:00
On one side, there's Donald Trump with his standard pomp and grandstanding before crowds
00:05
of fans.
00:07
On the other, there's Kamala Harris and her face-to-face interactions with emotional supporters.
00:13
They have two diametrically opposed strategies, but both candidates are preoccupied with the
00:18
same thing, Tuesday's debate.
00:21
The debate with Joe, how did that work out?
00:23
And we're going to find it out again on Tuesday night.
00:25
Is anybody going to be watching?
00:27
Finally got all of the debate prep to look at these slices.
00:32
Best part of debate prep so far.
00:34
Harris has had years of experience with televised debate since she was elected district attorney
00:40
of San Francisco in 2002.
00:42
She was able to put Vice President Mike Pence back in his place in 2020.
00:47
Mr. Vice President, I'm speaking.
00:48
I have to weigh in.
00:49
I'm speaking.
00:50
Nonetheless, Trump is a strong adversary.
00:53
Harris has hired Philippe Reines to play the role of the billionaire for debate simulations.
00:59
He worked with Hillary Clinton in 2016, which allowed her to dominate the debates, but not
01:04
to win the election.
01:06
Trump has also recruited a stand-in for his opponent.
01:09
Tulsi Gabbard, former Trump rival, has rallied to his cause.
01:14
She is known for having presented a challenge for Harris in a primary debate five years
01:18
ago.
01:19
She put over 1,500 people in jail for marijuana violations and then laughed about it when
01:23
she was asked if she ever smoked marijuana.
01:26
Trump has to master his nerves and retain composure.
01:30
Harris has to seem reassuring and presidential.
01:33
Those impressions are still pretty shallow.
01:35
So in many ways, this is as much a job interview for her with this big, broad audience that
01:41
she's going to have as it is a debate, an encounter with the former president.
01:45
The debate will take place in Philadelphia, cradle of American democracy.
01:49
The candidates have just over one more day to be ready.
