The second presidential debate of the 2024 election year, but the first debate between President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris takes place tonight in Philadelphia, hosted by ABC News at 9:00pm ET.
The entire corporate media system has been assisting the Kamala Harris campaign to establish a preferential narrative while simultaneously covering Harris’s exit from all prior positions. Harris has been prepping with the Obama team, and she is expected to play the race and gender card as much as possible.
The debate is being simulcast by multiple media outlets, carried on PBS and broadcast on Newsmax as well as other alternative platforms. A few of those livestream options are presented below.
If you are watching the debate, consider this an open discussion thread for your views and perspectives.

And, from the Bee (gotta love the Bee): ‘Jamaal Bowman must be stationed by the fire alarm, just in case things aren’t going Kamala’s way’.
Godspeed President Trump!
Love the Bee!
Thanks to whoever posted the picture of Debate Bingo over on the previous debate thread. I just put it on TruthSocial.
There’s another with Willie Brown in the center.
you missed woman & black
What, no “passage of time”? 🤣
😊
That’s what we do:
find and pass it on
They are always spot on 😎
Oddly, the most decisive strategy for winning this debate might be to simply let Harris speak. President Trump should consider yielding all his time to her, every question. Her collapse into chaos will be absolute, leaving nothing but the ashes of her own undoing. This may be a case where less Trump is more. His stance has already been well-established through numerous interviews, rallies, and social media. Conversely, her political platform remains unclear, and she is the one who needs to articulate her own views. He has nothing to lose, and possibly a lot to gain, by simply letting her do the talking. Legacy media will be scrambling to rewrite their stories for the next day, as they will have lost their only remaining angle of attack (Trump’s “lies”); the focus would be on Harris trying to attack Trump’s platform, but being unable to string together a coherent sentence while cackling and nodding manically in an attempt to mask her own unravelling. President Trump doesn’t need to dignify this clown show by offering any kind of responses except the occasional sympathetic glance over in her direction. Just my opinion, freshly brewed and slightly undercooked.
Most of the radio pundits on WLS are advocating to let her talk…that she will destroy herself…
IMHO, all the ‘news’ about her ‘preparing’ for this tells me she is not confident and that i would go so far as to say she recognizes that she is going to be way over her head…..
Made the mistake of turning on the drooling pundits before the thing started. WAY WAY too much cringe garbage. It’s all so scripted by these idiots, couldn’t stand it & had to turn it off
Funny, I have two stations on MSM and I feel already I need to shower or wash my hands or something.
Newsmax and OANN said they will both be showing it live. If that helps at lest gets you away from the alphabet media.
How I loathe Mr. Tick Tock. I shut it off and will just wait for the debate to start. Sure hope he gets her goat tonight. Psycho Marxist that she is I would find it poetic if she goes banana balls on a National stage.
“I’ve already stated my stance, but the current administration policy has been…and that’s produced the current disaster. Next question.”
“Refer to my previous answer.”
Exactly.
Oddly, the most decisive strategy for winning this debate might be to simply let Harris speak.
Last week, Trump said that he was planning to do exactly this.
I agree 100%!! In the sad spectacle called a “debate” with Slow Joe in June, President Trump did a great job just letting Joe talk, and making clear from his facial expressions that most of what he was hearing were the unintelligible ramblings of a man in the middle stages of dementia.
He needs to do the same thing tonight – force Kamala to use ALL of time to “explain” her policies – don’t give her the opportunity to snark or attack, because she will be prepared for that! I hope DJT has practiced his puzzled face so when she goes “word salad” it will be obvious to everyone just by looking at him (although I doubt they will utilize the split screen, for that very reason).
Great idea
He doesn’t have a choice, the rules are set up for her to talk. I think the q is does he let her get away with smearing him over and over or word salads.
Like the Biden debate.
I have to wonder, which ACCENT will she bring with her tonight?
Listening now and Trump is battling PURE EVIL!! The father of lies is on the stage with Trump. Pray for him to see through it and stay focused on the truth.
Call me chicken, but I’m relying on the rest of you.
You’re not chicken … hang in there and keep the faith!
I refuse to watch this manufactured piece of propaganda. Appreciate those that will.
I’m with you; my wife wants to watch it. But why? It’s a set up. Yeah, she sucks…but the two moderating, coupled with more than likely a hidden ear piece, and the week long prep….more than likely with the questions….it’s just a set up for clips and sound bites. I agree with many- just let her talk.
I have to wonder how many are unwilling to torment themselves by watching or even listening to this rigged marxist propaganda presentation. My guess is the numbers are staggering.
Like you, I appreciate those who will.
I am here to follow the comments, that will be far more instructive than enduring the propaganda spectacle.
The comments are way more enjoyable than the debate! God bless President Trump!
Not you, Mary 😜
I just posted the same. Will check in on comments though.
You’re not alone Mary. I cannot get myself psyched up to watch this. I know from past experience my blood pressure will go through the roof. Not good for me overall.
God bless everyone who can sit through this and God bless President Trump for taking all of the slings and arrows for us. I don’t know how he does it. He’s Superman.
Me too, I can’t bring myself to watch without a strong dose of whatever LaLa took tonight.
I’m settling down with popcorn and a some Basil Hayden
Am debating whether I should have a White Russian or a Moscow Mule….pun intended…
Black Russian?
I see what you did there…LOL…Bailey’s Chocolate Creme is another option…
Or Gloria Lime Margarita agave…
Right now since its my morning…I am nursing a Folgers….Blonde and Bitter….
Love the folks on this site…..droll humor, irony, sarcasm, puns, oh the puns….:)
😂 that’s great Aggie, enjoy!
I have had more to drink in the last two months than I have in over 20 years…I do Egg Nog with a splash of brandy, over the holidays…but that is usually about it…and a rare Kahlua and creme…I am having more fun with the names of some drinks…
My two favorites also!
In honor of the Kaminist’s heritage, IPA.
Play bingo
-switch hands
Bingo!
Boiler maker might do it!!
Nice, I’m currently into Blanton’s. Cheers 🥃
The good stuff! Cheers
I just rolled one..
In anticipation of the pain of a Presidential election year, better half and I bought a bartesian. Cheaper than a resident bartender.
Hardly ever drink alcohol, but like to know what is going on:
https://bartesian.com/
And no need to tip.
call me rough, but I really want to see some curb stomp.
she deserves it
I don’t think it will be allowed. She’s an idiot, but has the answers provided for her from whomever got the questions in advance.
Truth has no agenda
Trump-tapestry weaving will get it done; with style.
Amen.
Like that meme somebody puts up – he stomp you big time!
Maquis’ favorite Rally meme. Godzilla, I believe.
I’m just hanging here with all of you tonight, because I cannot watch or listen to her. Praying for my President to slam dunk her with one example of stark reality after another.
Never forget: she was selected, and installed – to advance “the fundamental
transformationdestruction of the United States of America.The illusionists always with the illusioning. Baby podium for the split screen illusion of equality. Nothing is real.

Kamala will have a “special” guest this evening?
An earpiece. Count on it.
She could be on stilts but still wouldn’t cover up the mental midget she is.
Treehouse Winner! Excellent!
Does it have a wet bar?
Won’t need one…her staff are probably filling her “water” bottle right now.
Vodka is colourless you know 😎
Like the judge in “Up In Smoke”!!
I would expect her to be bathed in a soft glowy beam of light while President Trump goes under a sun lamp that makes him appear beet red and sweaty, while his mic is turned up 10x making his breathing as raspy as possible.
How can people not see this?
What a freaking stupid move that is. I think… could be wrong…. candidates in the past have used little platforms to make their heights more even. Though, if I recall, I think Ross Perot went commando on that front back in the day. But making her podium so much smaller is really a stupid, stupid move. It’s not like producers are not going to have ANY wide shots…
“Harris has been prepping with the Obama team, and she is expected to play the race and gender card as much as possible.”
Because the job as LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD automatically means that our enemies will bow down to her when she plays the race/gender/VICTIM card…..
No. They will NOT.
If you want the job, whining is not going to get you anywhere at all if you get the job.
It’ll get the Nation destroyed.
She sounds completely rehearsed and memorized which is odd. I also notice she has notes and President Trump doesn’t appear to
Kamala acts like the kid who didn’t study for a test. Fact is, she hasn’t learned what the job requires.
And we all know how ‘last minute cramming’ works for test taking…
Hoping that Trump will clearly advocate for his proven leadership, confront Kamala on her agenda failures, ask Americans if they were better off 4 yrs ago, and then let her babble on.
The key is letting Kamala hang herself with her own mouth. She will do it, given the chance.
Actual facts, history, and her own record, prove her incompetence. Let it shine.
Why does Kamala want to experiment on kids by cutting off boys penis’ and girls breasts and giving them drugs that forever sterilizes them? It seems to me she is advocating policies that would make Josef Mengele’s proud. Sadistic women.
I hope Trump brings Willie as his guest tonight….gangster!
😎😁😎
Would be great….but unfortunately, there isn’t going to be an audience
Someone has been edited bigtime or is using botox.
Will they check her for hidden earphones?
I’m not sure I can watch this. No matter how it goes President Trump will be vilified, mocked and declared the loser. I remember how they did that the first time he debated Biden in 2020. I thought he did great, yet all I heard was how he lost, how he was too argumentative and should not have interrupted Biden.
Even people I know who said they supported President Trump thought he lost that debate. It makes one question their judgement or their sanity at times.
Maybe I will watch the rerun or read the reports here. I have a lot of respect for those of you who watch and post.
Are people still gullible enough to take these fake news pundits at their word? Have any of them EVER said ONE truthful word about the greatest president in our lifetime?
Nope, never. And I don’t expect they will start now. Not with TRILLIONS at stake.. not to mention the nooses.
I just cant watch…get so upset when they play gotcha with DJT. but I am glad some of you can watch and report out here. The humor in your comments always helps.
Local pre-debate coverage Los Angeles has also been prepping with Obama.
Anyone for Bingo??
Or Jeopardy….’drunkenly slurs words’ for 500 and hope for the daily double…
Only one race card square? Feels horribly low.
There are only so many squares, Hoo.
We could wipe out pallets of cards with only race card squares.
She’ll say something about her family, a la Joe. Mostly about the “powerful women”.
She’ll mention abortion, I mean, women’s reproductive rights.
Blame Pres Trump for inflation.
It will be a 90 minute ad hominem attack (lie), one right after another, Val. That’s all she has
I gave up ABC cold turkey when they dumped Roseanne.
I will be watching with The Watchers crew:
President Trump vs. Kamala Harris Debate LIVE Coverage
By Robert Gouveia
https://rumble.com/v5ef9jp-president-trump-vs.-kamala-harris-debate-live-coverage.html
Ya know, the Kudlow Fox Business channel “pregame” coverage isn’t horrible.
CNN played it fairly straight because they wanted to expose Biden to get rid of him. Don’t expect ABC to play it straight.
Hoping Trump has a “and you’d be in jail” moment.
“only Rosie O’Donnel” 😁
The zinger that turned him into a rock star….😜
Sending my best vibes and prayers to PDJT for a good outcome tonight. I cannot watch because she just is not tolerable for me. She is such a fake prop for the msm and the progressive leftwing nutcases and I cringe every time I hear her speak. Ugh. I’m not brave enough to withstand the rise in my BP that would occur if I viewed live more than a few minutes. I’ll get reports here and watch clips after the fact. Carry on and good luck to all who are going to brave the lie that is Ka Ma La.
questioning the opponent is against the debate rules, however, nothing stopping PDJT from prefacing his statements with
“the American people want to know… (insert question here)”
veep throat is completely out of her league here, and the biggest surprise of all will be she doesn’t embarrass herself multiple times
Go President Trump!
Holy crap, veep throat is riotous.
Debate prep (h/t Sundance’s twitter feed):
While everyone is waiting, enjoy some truth.
I live down the street from this bakery. Trump won the cookie contest in a landslide. He won the cookie contest in a landslide in 2020 also. Eric Trump stopped by the bakery in person in 2020. They were thrilled! Trump just posted an article about the cookie war on Truth Social.
I have the utmost confidence in President Trump tonight. This election is one of those crossroads moments in American history, and if he’s not elected I do fear for our future as a nation.
If there was ever a person ready to step up to the plate and answer the call to help his nation it is Donald J. Trump. Say a quick prayer for him tonight!
.
Anyone remember how Pelosi felt she should be entitled to her own jet paid for by We the People…because she was the all important SOTH from far away California? I wonder if she feels any envy?
Thank God for Stephen Miller. My Number 1 trusted person in PDJT’s orbit.
Where’s Scavino with pictures?
Loomer, huh… interesting…
Loomer does her homework.
Good. I hope she told him about the BlackRock Building in Butler.
PAShirl:
“. . . . . PRAYER FOR TRUMP vs DNC CANDIDATE #2 DEBATE… TONIGHT, 9-10-24
Dear Prayer Warriors,
At the previous debate between President Trump and DNC candidate #1, I (and I learned later) many others prayed in the Spirit throughout the 90-minute debate. I plan to do the same during this debate tonight, between President Trump and DNC candidate #2, and I hope many will join together in this spiritual battle.
Father God, we come in agreement to align with many words you have spoken about President Trump and his opponent.
You have said that Your David needs to follow Your Plan, not man’s plan. Lord, help him to know and understand Your Plan so he can be obedient to you. Help him to submit himself to You. Help him to trust You. Help him to honor you.
You have said of his current opponent, her own party will turn against her and she will not stay in that position. So, Lord, we ask You to give Your David a decisive VICTORY over candidate #2 this night. We ask You for an UNMASKING if they have put an actor in her place. We ask You to EXPOSE everything that can be exposed. We ask You to SHAKE this candidate and TRIP HER TONGUE over her own words. May her words make sense to NO ONE, not even herself.
Father, we ask You to let her performance dumbfound the lying media. May they have no words to defend such performance. May they be speechless because they have been given no script that applies to her failure.
Father, we ask You for a downward spiral of her candidacy from this night forward. May Your David soar to VICTORY from this night forward. May he defeat a different candidate in each debate.
Father, we ask You for Your Divine Protection over Your David, and all who are with him, throughout this day and night and throughout his candidacy, his Presidency, and his life.
In Jesus Name, Amen.” …….
Amen, sister!
Amen
Maybe one of the moderators could ask DJT why he thinks RFK Jr. has endorsed him rather than Harris.
I am not going to hold my breath, but it would be very interesting to hear his answer.
not impossible, but exceedingly tough in the age of duhminion!
…
Cookie Test!
This is surprising actually. Montgomery County used to be Red until the early 90s. Not anymore, unfortunately.
Kamala earlier… getting a little testy before her big day…
WARNING: language tidbit in here
“Kamala prepares for BIG debate!”
“What are you always doing at the stables?!?”
BAH!!!!
She has the nasal thing down.
She is a riot and nails Harris beautifully.
I am not watching this lying conniving s***show, because I already know the Kommunist Media is in the tank for that w****.
And that is what she is. Now, and then. Heels up can shove it…
Ill read the comments later. I refuse to watch these Klowns roast PDJT with thier lies and already fed questions to that Kommula lowlife liar….
You guys can fil, us in.
Id rather go for a long, long walk with my faithful dog, who doesnt lie cheat and steal….Well, he might steal my food off my plate once in a while, but a dog gonna dog, ya know.. 😉
And by the time the media is done reporting on it, we will have heard it about 4 times anyway…
Check your dog’s politics…he might be a democrat…”he even tried to unionize the cat”….
I will not be watching tonight, I am too nervous but will be reading these comments during the debate. I don’t trust ABC or the moderators. Take no prisoners tonight DJT. You are in my prayers tonight. You can send her back to San Fran after tonight.
I feel the same way. I don’t think I can watch and will just monitor the comments here.
Trump is sssooooooo tested… he wiped the floor with 17 RINOs… absolutely OWNED the Arkansas Widowmaker… stodd back and let Biden self-destruct in real time… hundreds… HUNDREDS of combative interviews and pressers… New MAGA same as the Old MAGA… stellar record, all things considered, as Commander In Chief…
Maquis honey pie, you hoo?
The “Pick up on line 4547” usually works….LOL…
Maquis, come hither!
🤗
Maquis is doing finger and hand stretches… can’t be too careful…
before the trump/biden debate,i told myself that biden would collapse. to come to that conclusion i merely looked at his down hill slide for the last five years. i in tend to apply the same deductions to harris. i will look at her past. at best she will look pathetic. at worst, her hate for trump will cause her to lose it and walk out. the fact is she has no record other than being the last one in the room before the afghan pull out and what she has said . she’s a marxist. enjoy your popcorn.
Gove Shapiro just said the only thing we had under DJT ws CHAOS!
Whatever chaos existed was manufactured by the uniparty. They produced chaos trying to destroy President Trump, then attempt to blam him for the chaos they created.
Destruction is all they know how to create.
I’m not worried. President Trump has this. Yes, he’s going to be debating the moderators as much as her but he’s has had the weight of the entire IC, MSM, lawfare etc for years and yet he’s stronger than ever!
He’s proven time after time he’s an intellectual giant. It’s why Kamala has desperately needed the MSM to cover for her.
IMO no amount of debate prep can prepare someone who isn’t even confident enough to do interviews, town halls or take questions from the press.
Let me say: Liar, Pants on Fire!!!
This debate is fairly predictable. Harris will lie repeatedly, speak in Word Salad-see, and be as vague and vacuous as you would expect.
President Trump will rebut many of those lies, speak directly about specific policy issues and will clearly run circles around Madam Roundheels.
Afterwards the media will unanimously declare Kackling Kamala the winner and demand that President Trump concede.
It’s all part of the show. Everyone has a part to play. Our part is to stay calm, don’t get angry and clearly tell everyone we know the true differences between the candidates. Pray continually and vote when it’s time.
The first time Kam-a-la cackles PoliticalFleaBites hopes Trump responds by say, “What the hell is so funny about that issue? We’re debating a serious issue that you think is funny?”
Ready to watch President Trump knock Hawk Tuah Harris down to her knees.
Donna Brazil gives Kamala advice for tonight on abc Hahaha
Tulsi Gabbard has been coaching him. He must have a mature tone to get any swing voters left on the fence.
I think the bigger question for me is how on earth are there actually any swing/undecided voters remaining. I literally don’t understand it. Were these people just dropped from a spaceship!
Lifting up prayers to President Trump as we begin the debate…
