Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are set to face off in a pivotal presidential debate on Tuesday night, marking their first and potentially only encounter before the November election. With both candidates currently polling closely, this debate is viewed as a critical moment in the 2024 campaign. Vice President Harris is expected to use the 90-minute debate to elaborate on her campaign promises and position herself as a distinct candidate from President Joe Biden. Meanwhile, Trump's campaign is aiming for a more upbeat portrayal of the former president during the debate. The debate will follow specific rules: there will be no opening statements, and each candidate will have two minutes for closing statements. They will stand behind podiums throughout the event, and the use of props or prewritten notes is prohibited. Additionally, candidates will not receive any topics or questions in advance, and they will not be allowed to ask each other questions.
