The debate between Harris and Trump may influence a third of registered voters in making their selection.
In another development, Project 2025’s former director accused Trump campaign advisers of “malpractice,” urging Trump to replace them to improve his chances in the upcoming election. Meanwhile, two former Trump officials, Anthony Scaramucci and Olivia Troye, will be joining Kamala Harris’s campaign as surrogates for the debate.
The White House criticized false claims propagated by prominent Republicans, including the Trump campaign and JD Vance, about Haitian migrants in an Ohio city eating pets and wildlife as dangerous misinformation. Melania Trump questioned the official account of the attempted assassination of her husband in a video promoting her new memoir.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is embroiled in a controversy over an amendment on November’s ballot to protect abortion rights, claiming fraud in the signature collection process and sending election police to voters’ homes to investigate. Democrats have criticized these tactics as setting a dangerous precedent for future elections. As tensions rise ahead of the debate and the election, the political landscape remains highly charged and contentious.
