Across the pond, the countdown is underway for the debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. The debate will begin on Tuesday at 9 p.m. local time, which is 3 a.m. Wednesday in Poland. It will be broadcast on ABC. The campaigns of both candidates agreed on the rules a few weeks ago. They will be similar to those that were in force during Donald Trump's June clash with Joe Biden. America is eagerly awaiting this clash, because the impression that Kamala Harris makes could have a significant impact on the final outcome of the fight for the White House.
Kamala Harris and her team – as reported by foreign media – have been holed up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for a few days now, where they spend every free moment preparing for the media clash with Donald Trump in Philadelphia. – She is a very focused and disciplined leader, but it takes almost superhuman concentration and discipline to handle a debate with Donald Trump – assesses Pete Buttigieg, the United States Secretary of Transportation.
Few politicians have as much experience in televised battles as the former president, so Kamala Harris and her team are carefully analyzing all six of Donald Trump’s recent election fights and conducting mock debates with aides and aides.
– She's in Pennsylvania right now practicing for the debate. She locked herself in a room. She has a lot to learn, but they have one problem – people outside shouting: “We love Trump!” So she can't concentrate – says Donald Trump.
Donald Trump has chosen a completely different approach to Tuesday's duel, and the media is pointing out that his debate preparations are the most unusual of any modern presidential candidate. “We will not have a formal debate preparation session because Donald Trump does not need one. He knows what he believes in and he knows his record, and that's all he has to talk about,” reveals JD Vance, the Republican candidate for vice president of the United States.

Some Republicans Withdraw Support for Trump
Donald Trump's recent public appearances clearly show that he says mostly what he likes. On Friday in New York, he harshly criticized women who accused him of sexual harassment. “Think about the unreality of these events. I'm famous. I'm sitting on a plane, I look at a woman, I grab her and start kissing her. What are the chances that this will happen? It couldn't happen, and she wouldn't be my chosen one,” said the Republican candidate for president of the United States.
Trump, at a rally in Wisconsin on Saturday, made frequent, disorienting digressions — including Hannibal Lecter and Al Capone. He called Elon Musk Leon Musk. He insisted that the only barrier between America and World War III was himself, and suggested that Vladimir Putin was a good chess player. “I knew Putin well. I don’t know if you saw that he endorsed Kamala. I was very offended by that. I wonder why, but he’s a chess player. Could that have been an endorsement with a smile? I think so,” Trump said.
Many Republicans have long warned that this narrative from Trump, compounded by his repeated lies about election theft and his recent threats to jail national officials he sees as fraudsters, it is even a gift to the democrats who present his rule as a time of chaos and adventurism.
In addition, such statements from former and current Republican politicians do not help strengthen his position. “I have never voted for a Democrat, but Donald Trump is also a fundamental threat to this country. That is why it is important to vote for Vice President Harris,” said Liz Cheney, a former Republican congresswoman.
Liz Cheney's appeal was also joined by former Vice President in the George W. Bush administration. Dick Cheney emphasized that in the 248-year history of the American nation, there has been no person who has posed a greater threat than Donald Trump.

Will the debate determine the outcome?
Trump supporters seem unfazed by the warnings, as recent polls show. The difference between the Democratic and Republican candidates is still within the margin of error. The New York Times notes, however, that according to the poll average, Kamala Harris has a two-percentage-point lead over Donald Trump and a narrow lead in three key areas, tied with the former president in another four.
– Whether you look at national polls or results in key states, the momentum is clearly on Kamala Harris' side, says Charlie Sykes, a political commentator.
But voters want to know a lot more about Harris' program, according to a recent poll. Tuesday's 90-minute pre-election showdown with Donald Trump on ABC NEWS could prove pivotal.
