The Upcoming Great Debate - The Coffee Klatch with Robert Reich
Today, Heather and I examine the upcoming Tuesday night debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.
The American public knows Trump. He has forced himself into our minds for the last decade in every possible way. Yet much of the public doesn’t yet know Harris. Before Biden bowed out on July 21, she was a vice president who, like every vice president before her, was almost invisible.
Heather and I discuss what’s most important for her to do in the debate — define herself as strong and competent or define Trump as weak and incompetent? Emphasize law and order, while suggesting Trump is unlawful and disordered? Bait Trump into losing control? We also discuss the Trump trials, the U.S. economy, and other issues that have a bearing.
Please pull up a chair, grab a cup, take our poll, AND make a note on your calendars. that Heather and I will host a watch-along of Tuesday’s debate, which you’ll find right here on this substack.
