Before the last debate even started, people could tell something was wrong. When President Joe Biden walked onto the stage, he didn’t look like his usual self. He shuffled slowly, and his voice sounded weak. “Folks, how are you?” Biden asked the crowd, sounding tired. This was a sign that it would be a rough night for him.
That debate ended up causing major changes. It led to Vice President Kamala Harris taking Biden’s place as the main person running for president for the Democrats. Now, Harris is about to debate Donald Trump, and everyone is watching closely.
Harris has been practicing hard with her team to make sure she’s ready for her big moment. This is her chance to prove herself.
Meanwhile, Trump talked about Biden’s performance in their debate. “He wasn’t good,” Trump said. “I hope Kamala isn’t good, too.”
Both candidates have a lot to think about as they get ready. The debate between Biden and Trump taught some important lessons. While Biden made some mistakes that people noticed, Trump also struggled with his words, though it wasn’t as obvious.
One big thing Harris and Trump need to remember is how they look on stage. Since the 1960 debate between Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy, people have paid close attention to how candidates look during debates.
Biden didn’t look strong in his debate. He seemed confused and unfocused at times, especially when Trump was talking. This hurt him more than the words he said.
As Michael LaRosa, who used to speak for First Lady Jill Biden, pointed out, “This is an Instagram, Facebook, TikTok world. How you look matters.”
Now, Harris and Trump will need to make sure they send the right message, not only with their words but also with how they present themselves. All eyes are on them for this important debate.
