Trump and Harris Prepare for September 10 Debate

An important event in the U.S. vice-presidential race is that Donald Trump and Kamala Harris have agreed to participate in a debate on September 10, according to ABC television, the appointed moderator. This debate marks the first public confrontation between the two candidates since entering the race.

Donald Trump, who initially resisted the September 10 date following President Joe Biden's withdrawal from the race on July 21, has now agreed to proceed. Biden's decision to exit the race came after a disappointing performance in the first debate, prompting Trump to seek a more favorable media outlet, such as Fox News, to moderate future debates.

The Harris campaign has consistently advocated for the September 10 date, although her team has not yet confirmed their commitment to this schedule. The upcoming debate is expected to be a critical moment in the campaign, drawing significant public and media attention.

Adding to the complexity of Trump's campaign is his ongoing legal battle in New York. On September 6, just days before the debate, a judge will hear arguments regarding the impact of a recent Supreme Court decision granting Trump broad immunity from criminal prosecution. Previously, Trump was found guilty of falsifying accounts, and if the judge deems the Supreme Court's decision irrelevant to this case, Trump's sentence could be announced as early as September 18.

This legal uncertainty casts a shadow over Trump's presidential bid, as the potential outcomes could influence his political future and campaign strategy. The debate with Harris will serve as a pivotal moment for both candidates as they vie for the vice-presidency amid an increasingly contentious political landscape.
