In a pivotal moment for the US presidential election campaign, former President Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris are facing off in their first televised debate shortly in Pennsylvania.
Kamala Harris, 59, who holds a significant edge among women voters according to recent polls, challenged Trump on reproductive rights, especially given his recent, seemingly contradictory statements on abortion.
Conversely, Trump targetted Harris on issues such as the economy and immigration.
The race for the White House between Kamala Harris, who is Black and South Asian, and Donald Trump appears to be neck-and-neck, with the latest polls showing Trump leading Harris 48% to 47% nationally.
According to AFP, Harris has spent the past five days in intensive debate preparations, sequestered in a hotel. In contrast, the Trump team has indicated that the former president has taken a more relaxed approach in the lead-up to the debate.
The debate is scheduled to last 90 minutes and will be held without an audience.
