U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump will face each other in their first presidential debate today in Philadelphia.
Analysts suggest that this challenging matchup places former prosecutor Harris against a seasoned debater, former President Trump.
According to Voice of America correspondent Anita Powell, the debate could be decisive for the presidential race.
On the Republican side, former President Donald Trump is seeking to reclaim the office after a four-year hiatus.
On the other side, Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic candidate, has generated enthusiasm as Americans wonder if she will succeed in securing the White House.
The campaign and the rhetoric used so far have created the impression that Tuesday’s presidential debate will be a fierce contest.
In the last debate, former President Trump emerged victorious. A few weeks after a lackluster performance in that debate, President Joe Biden announced his withdrawal from the reelection race. Now, the former President will face the new Democratic candidate Harris, who has been in the race for only a few weeks, according to Voice of America.
However, analysts say that in this tight race, where both candidates will vie for support from a deeply divided electorate, the debate could be crucial.
