Trump vs Harris: The 2024 Presidential Debate

On Wednesday, former President Donald Trump said he would likely debate Vice President Kamala Harris and hinted that campaign and network representatives were still working out the details. 

Trump has scheduled a debate on Fox News for September 4. However, Harris and her team have suggested he should agree to a debate on ABC News on September 10 instead. 

Trump claimed that President Joe Biden, who stepped down to let Harris run, arranged the ABC debate.

The switch in the Democratic ticket happened after Biden’s poor performance in a debate on June 27. Trump mentioned on Fox & Friends that several networks are vying to host the presidential debates for both him and Harris.

Vice President Kamala Harris Response

The team behind Ms. Harris stated that they would be willing to talk about additional debates, but only following the scheduled one.

The two candidates’ matchup will be closely observed if and when the upcoming debate takes place.

On Friday, Ms. Harris received enough nominations to advance as the Democratic nominee.

“If you got anything to say, say it to my face,” Ms. Harris urged Mr. Trump to engage in a debate at a campaign event in Atlanta on Wednesday.

The debate news came shortly after the US Secret Service mishandled the Capitol attack response. This information was in a Homeland Security report. At the time, Vice President-elect Kamala Harris was 20 feet from a “viable” pipe bomb outside the DNC headquarters.

The bomb detonated near the building the night before Trump supporters stormed the Capitol. Authorities found another similar bomb at the RNC headquarters.

It is still unknown who detonated the two pipe bombs.

In the latest exchange between the campaigns, former President Donald Trump spoke out on Saturday. He said he would not debate Vice President Kamala Harris. This is if she does not join a new Fox News debate next month.

Presidential Run: The 2024 Election 

Vice-presidential running mates have been chosen, and both major parties have announced their nominees. The election is less than ninety days away.

Right now, former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris have very different ideas about the future of the country. They are in a major debate about their plans and principles.

Trump, despite facing criticism, has made bold promises about his vision for America if he wins. His plan, called Project 2025, is a 922-page document that outlines his goals for a new government structure starting in 2025. This plan, written by former election officials from his administration, details changes for the White House, Congress, and other government offices.

The 2024 Election Agenda

A comprehensive strategy for reorienting all government levers of power to further conservative goals.

Among these highlights are the following: 

• Removing the Department of Education and the Department of Homeland Security 
• The terms “gender equality” and “reproductive rights” are removed from all federal agencies, laws, and regulations;
• Building the wall between the United States and Mexico
• Upholding a “social science-reinforced, biblically based definition of marriage and family.”

Many Biden Administration programs are expected to continue. Harris, the Democratic candidate, is less explicit about this.

Among these initiatives are the recently suggested term limits for Supreme Court justices and the reinstatement of abortion rights as national laws. 

Less than a month into Harris campaign, Harris’s candidacy is still developing as she aims to further describe herself and present her vision of government in a Harris administration.

The Battle for Democracy

The tiny, stale arguments between Donald J Trump and president Joe Biden about their respective ages and character flaws that emphasized their race are long gone. An aspirational, opulent, and ideological test intended to provoke, captivate, and compel voters to act will take its place. 

After the disastrous debate, Trump’s fascist tendencies seemed poised to end 250 years of American democracy.

Authoritarian shifts approaching Washington appear unstoppable, with an unethical Supreme Court and a dysfunctional Congress.

Yet, Harris’s growing activism and fervor might become a strong defense against the fascist threats that seemed imminent.

Even so, Professor Schulman’s prophetic prediction of change seems likely given Harris’s position at the top of the ticket. There is a shift occurring in politics and institutions, and both candidates running for office are vying to lead this transformation.

Trump’s Influence: MAGA Resilience and Dystopian Vision

Following the disastrous debate, it appeared as though Trump’s fascist tendencies would easily bring an end to 250 years of American democracy. Meanwhile, the authoritarian vicissitudes that are edging closer to Washington seem unstoppable, with an unethical Supreme Court and a hilariously dysfunctional Congress.

Harris’s growing activism and fervor are rapidly advancing. They might become a strong defense against the fascist threats looming over American politics.

Even so, Professor Schulman’s prophetic prediction of change seems likely given Harris’s position at the top of the ticket. There is a shift occurring in politics and institutions, and both candidates running for office are competing to lead this transformation.

One candidate challenges the nation’s views on sex and ethnicity. The other questions basic control and trust in the electorate. A real-time political struggle unfolds for the nation’s leadership and direction.

The MAGA base of former president Trump has proven remarkably resilient, influential, and long-lasting in American politics. The left, however, believes that Vice President Harris’s phalanx of politically active and astute voters, dubbed the “K-Hive,” can equal MAGA dynamism.

Vice President Harris and former President Trump currently occupy distinct political spheres in addition to being on opposing sides.

Whether on purpose or by accident, Harris has borrowed from the high, ethereal, and elevated posture of previous President Barack Obama’s historic 2008 campaign. A campaign aimed at motivating the unmotivated, inspiring youth, and energizing the politically ambivalent.

In contrast, Trump is based on a reality that is rife with cynicism, fear, and mistrust for the current checks and balances system.

Conclusion

As the 2024 general election approaches, former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris prepare for a dramatic clash.

Trump’s Project 2025 proposes major changes to national security and health care. Harris supports continuing current policies for the middle class and expanding safety nets. Voters are faced with two starkly opposing visions.

The upcoming debates and press conferences will be important for the public opinion as Election Day draws near.

As both candidates position themselves to influence the future direction of the country, the Democrat National Committee and Trump’s campaign are increasing their efforts to secure voter support, making this election an important moment in American history.
