Donald Trump and Kamala Harris will debate for the first—and perhaps last—time on Tuesday night as the presidential candidates fight to sway voters on the biggest stage in U.S. politics. This debate comes just 75 days after President Joe Biden's disastrous performance forced him out of the race. Few expect such a transformative result this time, but Trump is on a mission to end Harris' "honeymoon" as polls suggest the Democratic vice president is now even—or slightly ahead—in critical swing states.

Harris, a former courtroom prosecutor, faces high expectations against a Republican opponent with 34 felony convictions and a record of false statements. Can she effectively highlight Trump's liabilities on live television? The 90-minute debate begins at 9 p.m. ET at Philadelphia's National Constitutional Center, moderated by ABC News anchors David Muir and Linsey Davis. The debate will feature no live audience, per campaign agreements.

The dynamic of gender, body language, and age will play significant roles, alongside critical issues like abortion and immigration. Trump, known for his unpredictable debate style, will test Harris' preparedness. The stakes are high for both candidates as this could shape the remaining phase of the presidential race.
