Vice President Harris and former President Trump will attend the face-off presented by ABC News, at 21:00 Eastern local time, at the National Constitution Center. It will be the first time these two will meet in person.

Tonight’s televised exchange is the only one scheduled between both rivals, ahead of the elections that will take place in less than two months, although early voting begins Sept. 16 in Pennsylvania, which will prove key in this election cycle, and in four other states later this month.

According to representatives of the Republican’s team, “we’ll be ready tomorrow, President Trump will be ready. “The question is whether Kamala Harris will be ready because she will have a lot of things to defend,”Jason Miller, senior advisor to the campaign stressed.

On the other hand, the Harris campaign launched a statement on Monday featuring several former Trump administration executives, including former Vice President Mike Pence and former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, two critics of an eventual return of the tycoon to the White House.

The Democratic National Committee waved a banner over Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia prior to the division-leading Phillies game against the Tampa Bay Rays that read, “Don’t strike out on Trump, go to bat for Harris,” local media report.
