What the Trump-Clinton debates might tell us about Tuesday's match with Harris
Donald Trump claimed she would raise viewers’ taxes and accused her of supporting open border policies that had allowed an influx of unvetted and dangerous migrants into the country
NEW YORK (AP) — He claimed she would raise taxes and accused her of supporting open border policies that would allow an influx of unvetted migrants into the country. He blamed her for a litany of the current administration's failures and cast her potential presidency as four more years of the same.
Donald Trump wasn't facing Vice President Kamala Harris. It was Hillary Clinton on the debate stage.
As Trump and Harris prepare to debate for the first — and potentially only — time Tuesday, his three meetings with Clinton in 2016 illustrate the challenges facing both candidates in what is again shaping up to be an extremely close election.
Harris will face a skilled and experienced debater who excels at rattling his rivals with a barrage of insults and interruptions, while projecting unflappable confidence and conviction. And Trump will be up against a longtime prosecutor known for landing pointed punches. He again faces a woman who would become the country's first female president, and must contend with the underlying gender dynamics at play.
