CNN — “Mr. Vice President, I’m speaking.”
Kamala Harris’ iconic line during the 2020 debate with Mike Pence perfectly sets the stage for her upcoming showdown with Donald Trump. Harris aims to let Trump speak his mind freely during their scheduled debate, contrary to the muted microphones rule in Biden’s previous debate with Trump.
The spotlight on this debate underscores its potential to shape the campaign narrative. It’s crucial for Trump to slow Harris’ momentum post her convention. The Harris camp is ready to face any interruptions or overbearing behavior from Trump, counting on Harris’ strength as seen in her verbal exchange with Pence.
Overall, the debate’s outcome could significantly impact the election dynamics, especially with Harris challenging Trump to engage in a battle of wits which could alienate crucial voter segments.
