The details of the debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are now clarified.
When is the debate?
Harris and Trump will debate on Tuesday, Sept. 10 at 9 p.m. ET. The debate will run for 90 minutes with two commercial breaks.
Where is the debate?
ABC News is hosting the debate at the National Constitution Center, a private nonprofit education center and museum dedicated to the U.S. Constitution in Philadelphia.
Who is moderating the debate?
ABC News’ “World News Tonight” host David Muir and anchor Linsey Davis are moderating the debate.
Neither Muir nor Davis have moderated a general election debate, though both have moderated presidential primary debates: Muir in the 2016 and 2020 election cycles and Davis in the 2020 cycle.
Muir secured the first TV sit-down interview with Trump after he became president and the first joint interview with Biden and Harris before the 2020 election.
How can I watch the debate?
The debate will air live on ABC and stream on ABC News Live, Disney+ and Hulu. Viewers who do not have a cable subscription can watch on ABC.com.
ABC is also offering the debate for simulcast, which several networks have agreed to carry.
What are the debate rules? Will there be hot mics?
After a weekslong back and forth over the issue, the Harris campaign agreed to follow the June debate rule that each candidate’s microphone will be muted while their opponent is speaking.
The vice president’s team had pushed to keep the mics unmuted, which is routinely the case in presidential debates but was reversed in June at the Biden campaign’s request.
[…] Candidates will be equipped with a pen, paper pad and water bottle at their podiums. Props or pre-written notes will be prohibited.
Trump won the coin toss to decide either the order of the candidates’ closing statements or their podium placements. The former president again chose to select the order of statements, opting to give the last closing statement. Harris selected the podium that will be on the right of viewers’ screens.
Harris and Trump will have two minutes for their answers, two minutes for rebuttals and one minute for follow-ups, responses to rebuttals or clarifications. They will have two minutes for closing statements. The candidates cannot ask questions of each other and will not be allowed to interact with campaign staff during commercial breaks.
Will there be a studio audience?
There will be no studio audience and no opening statements, consistent with the June debate. The moderators will introduce both candidates, with the incumbent party going first. (read more)
Fallon is going to have to work even harder at this debate prep.
Trump can’t ask her to explain her economic plan? Why she is now for the wall? Does she or does she not believe in fracking? Why has she changed? How can he expose her??
A bit of reverse psychology and goading could work wonders on setting Kamala Harris up for failure.
President Trump should offer her a MAGA hat for adopting a bunch of his policy ideas. Ought to get her right flustered with that one.
She is not the sharpest tool in the drawer.
She is a can opener wanting to open a can of worms..😏
He said he was making her a special hat as a gift.
She is not the sharpest tool in the drawer.
———
don’t those make nastier wounds?
A dull knife is far more dangerous that a sharp one!
The past 4 years is evidence of that.
This is a great suggestion. No doubt Marxist ‘minds’ have been prepping her and Marxists can dish out mockery but they cannot deal with it.
Pres Trump should wear a T shirt with his mugshot. He should quote Nathan Hale, ‘if being targeted by a Stalinist kangaroo DOJ court is felonious, then let’s make the most of it.’
Then he should pull out a cat and a little cute duck from his suitcoat.
I mean why use facts and reality with this twit.
Trump should dismiss any attack line such as “Convicted Felon as quickly as possible (The convictions were in a politically motivated court and I am appealing, and all legal experts agree I will prevail on appeal’) and then turn immediately to her record.
“She has to run on attacks such as this because of her disastrous record.
In January 2020 I turned over and Economy with 1.4% inflation, $2.00 gas, $3.00 Diesel, 2.5% mortgages and affordable, plentiful food.
She and Joe Biden have given you 19.8% inflation , 7.5% mortgages, staggering grocery prices, and $4.00 gas and $5.00 Diesel
Her Green New scam deal is the cause of inflation.
Consider that Every implement on the farm now runs on deisel. Consider that every truck that carries the food from farm to every step between the farm and market runs on deisel. Everything you buy at the store is carried by a truck driven by a patriotic Teamster or an Independent Contractor who literally holds his small business by the steering wheel every day, and is being crushed by fuel prices.
So you literally can ask, Are You better off Now under Biden/Harris Economics, or were you better off under my Admin 4 years Ago.
She has a track record she will not bring up.
I have a track record that I am proud to run on.
People, you need to consider that and make your choice..”
Rinse, Repeat.
For Every single question.
Pretty good, Big Al.
I love it!!! Hope some one can get it to President Trump ASAP!!!
Don’t worry. That’s basically what he’ll do anyway.
I would add that he passed along a relatively calm world by comparison look at what the Harris foreign policy has brought us?
The end of the dollar
Wars everywhere
Afghanistan
Woke military=not ready
Etc etc
Legally you are not convicted until sentenced. They keep postponing the date for sentencing.
I think that is basically what Trump WILL do.
He just needs to make her cackle a few times after she lays her verbal eggs.😂
Perhaps remind viewers of how Joe RAN as a moderate, then swerved hard left to govern, once elected and use that line of his about how “they always go back to the policy positions they started with”.
Holy shlit…!
Kamala had done a questionnaire for the ACLU and she’s all for government funded gender transition surgeries for illegal aliens.
CNN exposing her is wild.
Her administration has “lost” 150,000 unaccompanied minor illegal children. It breaks my heart to think of the hell those children go through every day!
This fact needs to be hammered more often and more vigorously than it currently is.
x 2
Most are already dead, no pesky testimonies.
Check the Clinton residence – you may find them all.
There is that….
O bummer’s many basements too.
That number has more than doubled since it was first reported. Last number I heard it was at 320,000.
I’ve heard it reported as 300,000 that they have lost several times.
One must ask – what motive does CNN have for torpedoing their darling Kommie-LA ahead of the debate?
its only THIS woman Erin Burnett on CNN who seems to be burning her down alive. What has she done to ERIN and why is CNN even allowing this. I’m actually surprised, I watched another episode clip the other day where Erin really reamed her. AND Erin HATES Trump
Oh, I hadn’t noticed it was just one minion – thanks.
But still – I have two cats and they’re both suspicious.
It must be Russian election interference……as I roll my eyes. LOL.
I better knock it off. LMFAO.
FBI Director Chris Wray issues ‘election’ statement that’s so stupid, people thought it was fake—but it’s real… – Revolver News
Well Occam’s Razor once again… CNN sees the handwriting on the wall amidst their historic viewership decline. They well remember the viewership boost when Orangeman was in office.
I think it’s why they are bringing Potato Head back; he was their master Trump basher.

How is SHE related to the Getty-Pelosi-Newsom family cabal?
I’m thinking Barack will be trading her for someone else in October when her numbers have tanked so badly he can no longer avoid it. Rules be damned. Either that or some other October surprise is awaiting us. Another assassination attempt? Heaven forbid! Trump in jail? Kamala in the hospital? Monkey Pox is nasty, I’ve heard.
Biden steps down and Kumaloverme steps up to be the FIRST WOMAN PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA in OCTOBER
Newscum
Government funded is a total misnomer. That’s taxpayer funded. The govt makes/earns no $.
The mike drop, debate winning moments…
The brat girl/girl boss – “excuse me, I talking. I’m talking…
The insults – “convicted felon”; “rapist”; “racist” “hate women”
The scare tactics/lies – “Project 2025”; “nationwide ban on abortion”; “muh Russia”; “fine people” hoax”
None of those lines of attack will “needle” President Trump. He has heard it all before.
The problem for her and her handlers is that they are prepping to debate the “Trump” caricature they have been running against. President Trump on the other hand is prepping to debate her based on her words, her actions and the polices she has proposed and defended – the real kamala.
<None of those lines of attack will “needle” President Trump. He has heard it all before.>
Trump will answer:
When kalmala starts to cackle Trump and others will know she is on the chicken coop ropes.😏
I think you make a great point… “The problem for her and her handlers is that they are prepping to debate the “Trump” caricature they have been running against’
They all have Trump derangement syndrome and they believe the lies about him that have persisted for 8 years! Great point
I hope Pres. Trump will mention the good things that he did when he was president, starting saving some Carrier jobs even before he took office. (Don’t just tell his policies that he’d implement if he’s re-elected.)
He might say, “Look at my track record. When I was president before, I did …”.
That would inform or remind voters of what he did. And it would put pressure on Harris, to tell what she’s been doing the last 3.5 years.
Or, he should tell them what she has done trhe last four years.
Me 1.4% inflation, her 19.8 % inflation, etch, etc.
One of the reasons most incumbemt POTUS’s win reelection, is because the incumbent has actually BEEN POTUS, for 4 years;
whereas their challenger is only able to campaign based on “if elected, heres what I will do” the incumbent can run based on what they HAVE done.
This has both a potentially practical, literal advantage, but alsova PSYCHOLOGICAL one.
The challenger is asking voters to imagine them as being President, and “Presidential”, whereas for the incumbent no such imagination is necessary.
Of coarse, the exception to this advantage to the incumbent, is when there track record for their first term is universally percieved as TERRIBLE.
Jimmy Carter lost reelection due to this perception of his first term.
LBJ chose not to run, also due to the perception of his first term, and his VP, Humphrey ran and lost, being saddled with the double disadvantage; he inevitably inherited the bad perceptions of the Johnson/Humphrey admin, and he didn’t truly have that psychological advantage; voters had to imagine him as President, the same as his challenger who had ALSO been a VP.
In recent history, the Nixon/Humphrey election is the closest we have to our current election; a VP, saddled with an atroscious 4 year track record of the Biden admin, running against a challenger that actually DID serve 4 years AS POTUS, so that no imagining is required, AND he has a great record to run on.
Frankly, in a logical world, the results SHOULD be so obvious the Dem party would never have run KH, and she SHOULD be guaranteed to lose; she has all of the disadvantages of an incumbent with none of the advantages, and PDJT has all the advantages of an incumbent, with none of the disadvantages.
Its only because we arevin an upside down bizarro world that there is even a pretense that she has any chance of prevailing, ..and of coarse the CHEATING.
Which brings us to the Credibility/Plausability factor. It would not have been percieved as plausible or credible for Jimmy Carter to have won reelection, nor for Johnson or Humphrey.
Literally, no one would have believed it, and so the only possible explanation would have been ,…CHEATING.
Objectively, after the debate there was no way Joe could credibly, plausibly have won, hence the Dems HAD to replace him.
Objectively, he should NOT have been percieved as a credible/plausible winner in 2020, with his campaigning as a challenger from the basement with circles, vs. PDJT as a successful incumbent with yuge, unprecedented rallys across the country.
Can the MSM, which has lost credibility, viewership and revenue, pull off another smoke and mirrors trick, to make Kamala SEEM credible/plausible?
I think the more voters see of her, the less plausible she becomes percieved as. And so, will they still try to push her over with cheating, if its obvious to all she’s just not credible or plausible?
Thats the real question, seems to me.
From what i have read from Sundance the answer is Yes, ABSOLUTELY! Unless the vote is sp overwhelming that the cheating will not cover the gap. QAnd the still they will try, either with delivered ballots (Remember. Its ballots, not votes that they count) or it he certification process where our weak kneed pussy (RINO) VP would not participate. The DEMONCRATS have no such problem and the CURRENT VICE PRESIDENT WILL VOTE ACCORDINGLY.
Or had you not thought of that?
Maybe we want Biden to step asside in October?
PDJT never forgets or fails to highlight his own record.
It’s probably one of the primary annoyances to his opponents!
His only difficulty is in communicating how much good he actually did while in office when his speaking time is limited.
Make sure they know about this…
And this…
One could call him a idiot in cowboy hat but that would be an insult to all the board certified idiots out there.
Plus, it wasn’t President Trump losing jobs, it was left wing dictators across the country refusing to let people work and taking away their lives and livelihoods. President Trump wanted to reopen by EASTER 2020. They could not allow that to happen, because mail in ballots was how they got installed.
Go ahead MM, open that can of worms.
What if Kamala Harris does what Joe Biden did at the conclusion of the June 27th debate and repeats the fine people hoax in a way which grants moral authority and permission for Donald Trump to be assassinated?
If she and her handlers are foolish enough to do that, to repeat the fine people hoax after the failed July 13th assassination attempt, what should Donald Trump’s response be if he speaks last during the debate? After the debate concludes if it is Harris who speaks last?
If she does that, Trump should say, “Joe called for my assassination in June; they tried to kill me a month later. Kamala is doing it again tonight; when do they try to kill me this time? And, America, if they are willing to call for my assassination openly, twice, attempting it once so far, what will they do to you? You already know- look around, your cats are being eaten, your daughters are being raped and murdered, and your jobs are going to illegal aliens, all while they take your money, being devalued by inflation, and give it to Iran and Ukraine.”
Boom🎯🎯🎯
Team Trump should hire you!
As he said in 2016: “They’re not after me; they’re after you. I’m just in the way.”
Trump is speaking last in the closing arguments.
.
Does the desire to be on the the viewers right correspond to having the ‘heavier’ side of hair shielding her peripheral vision from catching a glimpse of President Trump?
I tend to believe Que-mala is insecure, and his presence, stature, and command of the issues may give her the ‘willies’ should his mere maleness out-perform her best known attribute — infectious giggling . . .
Oh, she’s definetly insecure, no doubt about it.
And having recently seen Joes debate with PDJT end him, she’s gotta be terrified “deep down in side”.
Its gonna be interesting, with a fair chance that just as with Joe, her plausability/credibility as a candidate that could beat PDJT is destroyed, for all the world to see.
Then, who do they put in? Big Mike?
Susan Rice. Or maybe Haley:)
You’ve got it right; she doesn’t want to have to make eye contact.
Kamala flip flops…
Someone should tell Bernie Sanders to stop spilling the beans because he’s reassuring Communists that Kamala hasn’t changed, just being more “pragmatic,” i.e., lying, to get elected.
On the contrary – he should be encouraged to continue. 😂
Ha ha, true!
Heard ole commie bernie saying this yesterday and was astounded! Harry Reid-level arrogance and stupidity.
He knows most people are stupid; they dont’ know what pragmatic means in the context he’s using it.
Flip-flops is an understatement!
She even flip-flops on her accent!
A fallon fallacy will be kalmala’s use of invalid or otherwise faulty reasoning in the construction of an argument that may appear to be well-reasoned but not unnoticed by most.
Alphabet salad anyone?😂
Well, that’s what happens when you have been unburdened by what has been …… but don’t worry, there will be thousands of minions out there writing exposes explaining to the masses what she meant by the word salads
None of them have yet mentioned the origin of the “unburdening” line.
It’s from the Communist Manifesto.
I am not making this up.
She is a fully qualified card-carrying Red Doper Diaper Baby.
She is 100% pure Commie. As is Obama, Buttigieg, and others in the Biden admin. And they are Commie Platinum Club members to boot, not just basic.
That’s scary!
Certainly the goal of her handlers will be to try to train that out of her, but its intrinisically “who she is” and I am not sure its possible to keep her from showing her true self for 90 minutes.
Let’s hope it’s not possible. ☺️
Trump is using Tulsi Gabbard, who’s blistering takedown of Kamala during the 2019 Democratic presidential debates forced Harris out of the race, to advise him for the ABC debate.
I think the best advice our 45th President was given in his prep is to let Harris talk. The National Archives could be filled to brimming with all that Kamala doesn’t know, so we will soon see if she can last through 90 minutes of extemporaneous speech with neither teleprompters nor an ear bud spoon-feeding her lines without a major meltdown.
I’ll bet she has some sort of earpiece. Just not visible.
Kamala will do the CACKLE as much as possible in order to anger President Trump to the point that it makes it hard for him to answer the questions.
I believe President Trump will concentrate on answering the questions. And I have an idea I hope President Trump has had. When Kamala is getting ready to answer the questions, he should do his version of the CACKLE at her. That would freak her out 😃🤣🤣🤣!!!
That is based on something I did when I lived in Tokyo for 2 weeks. One day I was walking down a sidewalk, and 5 Tokyo ladies were walking the other way on the sidewalk across the street. One of them played a joke on me- she pointed at me and screamed “GOJIRA!” (GODZILLA! 🤣🤣🤣). Her friends laughed, so I played my joke on them- did a thunderous low frequency CACKLE at them, the way GODZILLA would do it. They freaked out and walked away so fast they almost ran 😃🤣🤣🤣.
If President Trump does a loud, low frequency GODZILLA CACKLE at Kamala Harris she will freak out 🤣🤣🤣. I hope he does it 😃🙏💖.
That would make President Trump look like a psycho. There is nothing wrong with her appearance or her laugh. People that can’t stand her are put off by her laugh.
Her over the top dishonesty will be her undoing. She’s probably an average IQ but she’s mentally lazy and has been her whole life. She has always let other people carry her and she feels entitled. She’s just not professional and in any conversation she wouldn’t measure up and would pale in comparison to a real professional.
When this debate is over and people see and hear her answers fact checked and compared alongside past statements will be when she loses the debate.
If she’s the heavy boozer many are claiming, than tonight will be doubly interesting. If she is an alcoholic than I’m sure all her handlers will be watching her closely but it wouldn’t be the 1st time a lush figured out a place to hide a flask or hid a shot in a tiny innocuous container. They might even give her a prescription drug to level her out or calm her down but that could go awry if she’s taking something they don’t know about.
I’m hoping she has a complete breakdown and she endorses President Trump in an alkie crying jag.
No, her laugh is wrong. She laughs at serious subjects and it’s off-putting. An indication of her fake personality.
She does think highly of herself. No one else does.
That’s a defense mechanism to make the people around her think, “She’s not a bright bulb, but she’s so joyful and okay with being stupid.” 🤣🤣🤣
I agree that it wouldn’t be useful for PDJT to make this response.
But the thought is still funny. It would go well in a meme after the debate.
PDJT will not be angered by the cackle.
I’m sure it will be music to his ears as she exposes herself as a 100% ditzy fool.
Disagree. He should act Presidential. Mocking her is what his haters expect and it won’t help him with independents.
Be respectful (even if she doesn’t deserve it) and stick to the facts.
I don’t think the cackling can be controlled. It’s part of her persona. And that’s the scary part – that it’s spontaneous rather than planned. Planned would mean neurons are firing.
No cheat sheet for knee pads!
We might watch this train wreck.
Then again, her voice is so annoying …
“I am speaking”
Now’s your chance to make a total fool of yourself, knee pads.
Trump 2024
Look for the earpiece- they always cheat, and this debate will be no different. I will also watch for hand signals, paper shuffling, or other cues the moderators may give her. If the moderators repeatedly do certain things at certain times- it’s a planned cue.
Earpieces these days can be almost invisible.
Exactly!
She has three options for the American people to see: Idiot, bitch, or idiot-bitch. I wonder which one we’ll get.
YES
How does Trump ensure she doesn’t have some kind of communication pod in her ear?
No earpiece? No answers embroidered into her sleeve, no props at all? No previously advised questions? Drug testing? I cannot see how Harris will succeed without any of this. Just my opinion.
Which means keen eyes need to be on alert. I just posted above with a similar comment: They will cheat—it’s their MO.
Guaranteed: there WILL be an earpiece, hidden by her hair, or so small as to be invisible.
DEMS cheat, “anything it takes” to remain in power, said corrupt and despicable Billy Jeff Clinton.
“Anything” obviously includes murder, as we now know!
How can Californians watch? Are they still without power? Maybe blackouts are a good thing for Queen Kamala.
Bring your own water bottle Mr. President.
🎯
I will wait until Wednesday.
I bet the national debt she gets softball questions and in advance….
Got them, and rehearsed them, multiple times, with Obama’s staff and the debate moderators.
I’m not going to watch it – I will wait for SD’s and our Treepers’ reports after-the-fact.
The only thing I fear is her wearing a hidden earpiece – can she get away with doing so?
I had a premonition on the night of June 27th I would be watching something historic, live in real time. I wasn’t disappointed. I have the same sense about tonight’s debate.
Pray for Trump…pray,pray and pray some more.
I agree.
Among other prayers today, I’m praying President Trump stays on message, talks policies, has a smile, and doesn’t resort to name-calling, or take the bait that is going to be thrown at him.
Just let Kamala ramble on exposing her word SALADS and her intellectually.
Will she be wearing an earpiece, like dementia Joe?
YES, she will!
PRESIDENT TRUMP’S FACTS
PRESIDENT TRUMP’S FACTS
President Trump, Sir, if you or your people read this, Bring You Own Water!!! Take nothing from these people!!!
And watch who wipes down the podiums.
My advice, ask her definitions of words. Their definitions are quite often quite different than ours.
For example, “Americans”, “citizen”.
Don’t forget “woman”.
“Democracy.”
I don’t know about you, but I am still expecting a power outage or some other nonsense to prevent the debate from ever happening.
The easiest way for the cheating democrat’s to get around “The candidates will not be given the questions” rule is for the cheating democrats give the questions to the ABC team.
We’ll see how the garbage polls change after this.
The Blob wants to see if in our dumbed down, attention deficit political idiocracy it can manage to install in the WH by various means, including the use of its lapdog media, two documented Marxist/Maoist candidates selected at the last minute as planned all along to enable the stealth campaign they are currently running. It will prove how little interviews, debates and rally numbers mean to an adequate number of voters (actual and fraudulent) and how well the various control mechanisms of The Blob work.
If they fail, Trump may succeed in erecting obstacles for them in 2026 and 2028, but since those will most likely be through transitory executive orders which last as long as he is in office and since there will almost certainly be a LONG overdue economic crisis during his term for which HE will be blamed, 2028 might not be a year where another rebel like Trump is elected.
We are in the economic crisis….
The modern “political debate” has nothing in common with debates or the skills required of debate.
This, as the last many debates is a sham!
totally disgusting this obama woman person with ZERO votes in theory could be POTUS
The debate will also be aired on RAV.
President Trump just needs to say, Dick Cheney endorsed her and she gladly accepted. And then walk out of the studio.
I’d bet the proverbial farm that the vast majority of Americans do not know who Dick Cheney is.
Not a bad bet.
But Cheney’s infamous duck hunt was an integral part of the plot in the Amazon Prime Video series “Patriot” (in itself quite the indictment of the soul-sucking see eye ay).
So there are possibly non-political television watchers who might know that now.
Who was it who said politics is downstream from culture? (I’ve lost track…)
Hurrah President Trump!
Always MAGA 👊👊🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️
This display of a debate is meaningless.
Dominion Voting Systems and mail-in ballots will decide this election…just like 2020.
Dems say she needs to ask DJT why he encouraged Republicans not to vote for Biden’s last border deal, reasoning that he wanted to save any border closing tactics for himself. NOT SO: that bill allowed ONLY 5000 illegals in at a time, but could be increased by the President. Trump wants 0 left in freely – and deportations to begin. BIG DIFFERENCE!
Looking at her policy pages now I mentioned in this thread it was filled with lies and plagiarism. Her aides must be teenagers. Cut and paste has been called out
https://newrepublic.com/post/185719/kamala-harris-policy-platform-copy-paste-biden-metadata
I got an email from OANN today saying they will have the debate live tonight.
So will RSBN, RAV, and Rumble, all on my roku.
Therefore I can put it on the big screen (provided I don’t get sick watching Kommie-La) with closed captioning, and use my device to hang out here.
I don’t drink alcohol but I’d be happy to take a sip of green iced tea for each cackle…
Any recommendations on where to watch and get some good real-time commentary as it progresses.
In addition to the sources I listed just above, TruthSocial (Truth+ which is their new live streaming) is supposed to have it with a great deal of commentary.
Steph – I’ve had a lot of problems lately w trying to watch the Real Americas Voice app. Have you been having any? That is my go to channel.
I need to clarify that I watch the app on my Roku also.
will kamala be wearing an earpiece???
“So say we all.”
I didn’t watch.
Can I afford eggs now?
