Former President Donald Trump is gearing up to debate Vice President Kamala Harris with a straightforward strategy: attack, attack, attack. Despite acknowledging the unpredictable nature of debates, Trump is prepared to focus on issues like the economy, inflation, and immigration while likely incorporating personal attacks. Seeking to manage expectations, Trump has also criticized the fairness of debate sponsors, ABC News. His unconventional debate preparation includes discussions with aides, advisers, and former U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard. While Trump aims to tie Harris to President Joe Biden’s administration’s failures, his history of personal attacks and negative rhetoric could alienate moderate and independent voters. Trump’s approach of lowering expectations and attempting to intimidate moderators mirrors his past debate tactics. As the showdown approaches, both candidates are gearing up for a contentious exchange, with Harris warning of Trump’s disregard for truth and Trump questioning the fairness of the debate environment. Ultimately, Trump’s combative stance and penchant for controversy could influence the outcome of the debate and shape voter perceptions leading up to the event.
