Harris and Trump debate in Philly tomorrow. Here’s what you need to know

Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are set to debate in Philadelphia on Tuesday, marking their first face-off since Harris became the Democratic presidential nominee. The debate comes after significant shifts in the political landscape, including President Biden’s withdrawal from the race and Trump surviving an assassination attempt. Harris has regained ground lost by Biden in key swing state polls, making the race highly competitive.

The 90-minute debate will be moderated by ABC News anchors David Muir and Linsey Davis and will air at 9 p.m. ET. The debate format includes muted microphones to prevent interruptions, a rule carried over from earlier debates.

Key issues expected to dominate the discussion include reproductive rights, with Harris emphasizing her stance on abortion, and Trump likely focusing on the economy and immigration. Both candidates face high stakes in this closely watched event.
