Former President Trump's advisers and allies argue he enters next week's debate against Vice President Harris with several advantages going for him.
He is a more seasoned debater, particularly on the national stage. It's Harris who has to introduce herself and her policies to a large swath of the public. And polls show Trump with an advantage on key issues like the economy and immigration. |

PITTSBURGH — Vice President Harris wants to challenge former President Trump on policy on the debate stage Tuesday, hoping to make a compelling argument that she's stronger than the former president on issues that Americans care about while responding to criticism about her own proposals.
"She's not just going to read off statistics, she's going to read off what her policy is and how it actually will impact peoples' lives," a former Harris aide said. |

Democrats say Vice President Harris's decision to offer a more modest capital gains tax hike on the wealthy is a step in the right direction to win over voters concerned she's too liberal or too antagonistic to business. The Trump campaign has cast Harris as a liberal firebrand, pointing to various positions she took in 2019 when she was running for president and courting liberal voters. |

Former President Trump said that he supports "modifying" the 25th Amendment that would permit the ouster of a U.S. vice president who "lies or engages in a conspiracy to cover up the incapacity of the president of the United States." Trump told his supporters at a rally in Mosinee, Wisc., that "if you do that with a coverup of the president of the United States, it's grounds for impeachment immediately and removal from office, because that's what they did." |

JD Vance's (R) book, "Hillbilly Elegy," said that he won't be casting a vote for former President Trump despite Vance being his VP in a video posted Saturday.

Former President Trump posted online saying no props or lifts will be used in the upcoming debate to make one candidate appear taller, calling it cheating. "No boxes or artificial lifts will be allowed to stand on during my upcoming debate with Comrade Kamala Harris. We had this out previously with former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg when he was in a debate, and he was not allowed a 'lift,'" Trump posted to his Truth Social site. "It would be a form of cheating, and the Democrats cheat enough. 'You are who you are,' it was determined!" |

OPINION | In recent weeks, the vice president's defenders have been eager to point out that Kamala Harris was never the "border czar," responsible for securing America's wide-open Southern border. Instead, they claim, she was only in charge of addressing the "root causes" of migration in Central America. Even if that were true, the vice president's supporters shouldn't be so keen to brag about it. |
OPINION | Fostering workforces and leadership teams with diverse perspectives and backgrounds has become a priority across the American business landscape. Although government mandates on "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion" receive much attention, as well as pushback, private sector approaches have a more constructive impact. Unfortunately, some bad actors threaten this progress. |
