Former President Donald Trump is gearing up for his debate against Vice President Kamala Harris, with expectations running high on both sides. Trump's allies are expressing confidence in his ability to perform well, emphasizing the importance of sticking to the issues during the debate.
There are concerns, however, that Trump may resort to personal attacks if he feels pressured. Republicans close to Trump have advised him to focus on specific topics such as immigration and inflation, believing that this approach could lead to a successful debate performance.
Trump's team has warned him about Harris potentially trying to provoke him during the debate and has advised him not to engage in any confrontations. Despite not participating in mock debates, Trump has been engaging in informal discussions with his advisors to prepare for the event.
During these preparations, Trump's team has been strategizing on how to handle potential questions and how to steer the conversation away from sensitive topics like abortion. The former president's advisors are hopeful that by maintaining his focus on policy issues, Trump can come out on top in the debate.
As the anticipation builds for the showdown between Trump and Harris, all eyes are on how each candidate will perform and whether they will be able to effectively communicate their positions to the American public.
