Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are gearing up for their first in-person encounter at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia. Both have been diligently preparing for this high-stakes moment with the help of advisors.
Harris has been using a stand-in for Trump, complete with his signature red tie, to visualize the upcoming scene. On the other hand, Trump has opted for a different approach, choosing to replicate the informal 'policy time' that he used to prepare for his previous debate with President Joe Biden.
Despite a change in the Democratic ticket, sources close to Trump suggest that his preparation strategy remains largely unchanged. However, one notable addition to his team is Tulsi Gabbard, a former Democratic representative from Hawaii who ran for president in 2020. Gabbard's past clashes with Harris during the 2020 race add an interesting dynamic to the preparation process.
As Trump gears up for his seventh general election debate, his team remains confident in his experience. Harris, on the other hand, is seen as the underdog in this matchup. The effectiveness of Trump's approach with a new, younger candidate like Gabbard is yet to be determined.
With tensions running high and both candidates preparing diligently, the upcoming encounter between Trump and Harris promises to be a significant moment in the political landscape.
