What to Watch at the Donald Trump-Kamala Harris Debate

As the candidates meet for their only scheduled debate on Tuesday night, here is what to be on the lookout for.

Here is what to watch for:

Can Trump restrain himself?

Will muted mics make for a muted debate?

How will Harris handle Trump surprises?

Who gets a viral moment?

Will Trump tie Harris to Biden?

Will Harris distance herself from Biden?

How will Harris target Trump on Roe v. Wade?

How will they speak about the economy?

What roles will race and gender play?

From The Washington Post comes this: “I’ll be paying attention to their words, the truthfulness of it,” said the congresswoman, who represents most of Pennsylvania’s Montgomery County in the Philadelphia suburbs, along with parts of Berks County near Reading. “Is it factual? Based on what you all care about? What we care about, what our families care about? Or is it demeaning? Is it othering? Is it filled with hatred or bigotry? I’ll be looking for the bright and the light and the love.”
