With the debate on Tuesday, there will be a live-stream about what to expect and the aftermath!
The debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump is officially set for Tuesday. With the debate upcoming and increasingly close race in the polls, election coverage becomes increasingly pertinent. 1Harris, who leads Trump in the polls nationally and who leads him in multiple key states, albeit narrowly, will face her first true test against the former President and I will be covering it live!
The debate starts at 9 PM EST/8PM CST.2 However, for the sake of a polling update and other information before the debate, I will be starting at 8:30PM EST/7:30PM CST.3
Here is some background.
What to expect from the livestream/debate
While I previously noted that some risks that could hamper Harris in this debate.4 Trump’s need to talk over his opponent would be one potential problem, however, that likely won’t be an issue going forward, as the microphones will be muted when the other candidate is talking. 5 What I will be looking for, more specifically, is how Harris reacts to Trump’s attacks. And make no mistake, he will attack her.
Beginning, the stream will begin with a review of the polling in the key states based on updated polling. While not much has changed since I last wrote my last piece on the state of the election, we can expect to see some electoral changes within the next few days, both before the debate and after.6 7 That said, depending on how either candidate performs in the upcoming debate, the race could change. Even a slight change in the key battle ground states could lead to significant results.
Barring a particularly egregious performance by either candidate, we can expect to see partisans stay where they are in the race. However, the independent voters could be swayed and thus, give one candidate momentum and/or take away momentum from the other. Harris has benefited significantly from her sudden entry and it wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if a strong or even decent performance against Trump would lead to strengthened support in the states she needs.
Where can you watch the debate?
I will be watching the debate via a screenshare of another livestream. However, my stream will be available on my YouTube and Twitch. Assuming all goes according to plan, you will also be able to watch it on Facebook live as well. 8 9
