Travelers, but look now good morning youre live in the Cnn Newsroom. Im Jim Acosta in washington tonight, perhaps the most important 90 minutes of this year as a polarized nation comes together for the only scheduled debate in this bitter race for the White House. This is the stage where Vice President Kamala Harris and Donald Trump will meet facetoface for the first time. With less than two months until election day. Both candidates are determined to find an edge heres why this New York Times Sienna College Poll i like some of the other polls out there showing no clear leader with both Harris And Trump locked in a statistical deadheat tonight. A chance to pull away he played with this really old and tired playbook, right . Where he, theres no floor for him in terms of how low he will go and we should be prepared for that. We should be prepared for the fact that he is not burdened by telling the truth and trumps Team Planning to treat Kamala Harris as the incumbent, tying her to the pr
Regaining ground in a poll by Nate Silver. And Vice President joy, as things stand today, shes losing. As far as Debate Prep goes, one could argue trump has been getting ready for what, nine years or so . Since 2015 really. Unlike harris, he has an actual record to run on, not run from. What is Kamalas Vibe today . Yes, i am. Yes. Part of Debate Prep for you . Being at the Spice Store is so far. James E Laura this your oura is. They dont want a repeat of the 2020 debate. On Friday Politico admitted her advisers were scrambling after rules to mute the mics were finalized. She could get thrOwn off by the muted mics. They are preparing for that possibility. Now we know why kamala fought hard to change the debate rules. She claimed they were worried Trump Couldnt Control himself. It is because Kamala Harris needs her verbal crutch when her caboos of thought goes off the rails. Mr. Vice president , im speaking. I have to weigh in. Mr. Vice president , im speaking. Laura if she manages to pu
Debate, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris will be facetoface before the november election. You are watching Fox And Friends First on Tuesday Morning, im carley shimkus. Todd im todd piro. New Poll Numbers for both sides. Griff jenkins is in washington with details. Griff good morning, here we go, just hours from the debate. Harris has been hunk erred down prepping with a mock Debate Stage amid reports her team is planning to rewrite her Play Book. We got a glimpse from an interview a week ago. I think he will lie and he has a Play Book hes used in the past, be it his attacks on president obama or hillary clinton. We should expect some of that might come out. Griff this is the first time the two cross paths. For harris, her first time ever having to defend a record which Eric Trump says has been a failure. Im not surprised she is failing. Every american knows the problem this country has, prices through the roof, illegal immigrants are taking over, fentanyl is killing our children, there a
Its going . In the last one within the first ten minutes people had their ideas. Whats your Mark Tonight . I think well have a sense of whether what the moderators have planned tonight. One of the things was Fact Checking was going to be the purview of the participants not the moderators, and i think well get a sense of what role the moderators are going to play in the first few minutes. I think if you look back at harris and her sort of arc in the senate on the Judiciary Committee, it took her about three quarters to make bill barr, Jeff Sessions and Brett Kavanaugh squirm. I would give her about five minutes to see what approach shes taking and what strategy she plans to deploy. Trump wont be the story. I know he likes to always be the story, but trump will be trump. I think ill be interested to see what abc and the Moderators Approach is tonight and what Vice President harris approach is tonight. You make a great point in reminding everyone even though news viewers may have been wat
Nervousness, on the state of the race, quite a lot of nervousness from some democrats. Jesse: can harris handle the heat, 24 hours before the debate. It will take almost super human focus to deal with donald trump. I don t think she s abandoning her ideals, i think she s trying to be pragmatic and doing what she thinks in order to win the election. Bernie sanders does it again. Hold it. Cannot speak english in my front yard, screaming at me, throwing mattresses in my front yard. Is america becoming a haitian nation. It s so unsafe in my neighbourhood. Plus eat [ bleep ] jesse watters [ ] it s the last night of debate camp for kamala and the camp councillors are leaking. I m picking up nervousness on state of the race, i m getting democrats texting, a long call with a strategist, and i can fill you in on that a bit more, but i m hearing quite a lot of nervousness from some democrats. Debate camp must not be going well, because now they re setting expectations really low. She s never
