Jesse: the stage is set and we re less than an hour away from trump and harris taking the stage for their first, and probably only presidential debate. And you can watch it here on fox. The two candidates will duke it out for 90 minutes, no opening statements, no cheat sheets, no audience, two commercial breaks, and the mics will be muted when the other one is talking. The podiums will be different sizes. Kamala will be standing behind a shorter podium. A trump official says if looks like the kid s table at thanksgiving. This is the president s 47th debate, and for harris, her first. Under tremendous pressure, for the first time since biden dropped out, kamala will be all alone, no runningmate, no teleprompters, against an unpredictable former president and veteran tv star who she s never been in the same room with, with two months before the election, this is kamala s one shot to make it happen and we re hearing she s nervous.

If the lord almighty said joe get out of the race, i d get out of the race, but the lord almighty is not coming down. As the calls to step down, biden persisted. I m det
Immigration record and the administration s botched withdrawal from afghanistan. Now, the trump campaign previewed as much this week, essentially indicating that the former president would pursue those lines of attack against harris on the debate stage and presented with that. Harris aides and allies expected the vice president is going to paint trump as unserious and essentially describe his policies as unpopular. All of this to essentially avoid taking the bait.

Of course, the vice president was not tasked with border security, instead tapped to address root causes of migration. But she will be presenting that case on the debate stage today. All of this, anderson, really boils down to harris flipping the script here and using trump s own words and actions against him. All right. Thanks very much. We ll check in a little bit later.
