Washington: The second presidential debate is going to be held before the presidential election in the US. Former President Donald Trump and current Vice President Kamala Harris will face each other in this debate. As per Indian time, it can be seen from 7 to 8 am on Wednesday (9 pm on Tuesday according to US time). There will be a political debate between the two leaders during the debate. During the debate, both the leaders will be under pressure to tell their different views about the country. The debate will be held in East Philadelphia. Earlier, the first presidential debate was held on 28 June. Joe Biden and Donald Trump were face-to-face in the first debate. Trump was seen dominating the debate from the beginning. Trump was declared the winner of the first presidential debate.
What does Harris want to show?
President Joe Biden decided to drop out of the presidential race after his disappointing performance. After this, candidates from both parties announced their vice-presidential candidates. Harris wants to show that she can lead the Democratic side against Trump in a better way than Biden. At the same time, Trump is trying to portray the vice president as an out-of-touch liberal.
Kamala Harris has made preparations.
Harris (59) is the first woman, black, and a person of South Asian descent to serve as vice president. Former Republican President Trump (78) has often resorted to racial and gender stereotypes against her, frustrating her allies who want Trump to instead focus on policy differences with Harris. Kamala Harris has spent most of the last five days in Pennsylvania preparing for the debate. Before the debate, she told radio host Ricky Smiley that she was working on how to respond to Trump if he lies. She said, “There is no limit to how low he will stoop.”
What is a presidential debate?
Before the presidential election in America, debates are held between the candidates on important issues. Based on this, voters form their opinion about the candidates. This is called a presidential debate. Two such debates are held before the election. The first presidential debate was held between John F. Kennedy of the Democratic Party and Richard Nixon of the Republican Party. In the 1960 election, Nixon lost and Kennedy became the President.
