The first live debate on September 10 is expected to have a big impact and is also an opportunity for each candidate to accelerate ahead of his opponent in the race to the White House.

In less than two weeks, the first confrontation between the two US presidential candidates will take place. Both US Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are actively preparing for a live televised debate on September 10 on ABC News. This will be an opportunity for the two candidates to show themselves as the top choice of American voters with policy priorities in each specific area.

In an announcement on the social network Truth Social, former US President Donald Trump confirmed on August 27, US time, that he will attend this live debate. Recent survey results show that the support rate between Mr. Trump and Ms. Harris is extremely close and the person who performs better in the debate can create a big advantage in the race to the White House.

Ms. Harris will also have her first official interview after nearly 40 days of announcing her candidacy for President. Accordingly, she and her running mate – Mr. Tim Walz will be interviewed by CNN at 9:00 p.m. on August 29 (8:00 a.m. on August 30, Hanoi time), marking their first joint interview since launching their presidential campaign. Ms. Harris can clarify her stance on many domestic and foreign issues in this interview. Having only entered the campaign for more than a month, Ms. Kamala Harris has quickly made her own political mark, winning over voters with her vision of a new path for America:

“We are charting a new path forward, toward the future with a strong and growing middle class because we know that a strong middle class has always been critical to America’s success, and building that middle class will be a defining goal of my presidency.”

Kamala Harris is considered to have many advantages and great opportunities to join the Democratic Party in creating a historic milestone when her election campaign raised more than half a billion USD in just over 1 month – an unprecedented record for any election campaign in US election history. However, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll, former US President Donald Trump of the Republican Party is more popular than Vice President Kamala Harris of the Democratic Party when it comes to his approach to the economy. The three-day poll, conducted from August 23 to 25, showed that former President Trump’s approach to the economy and jobs was favored by 43% of voters, more than the 40% who favored Ms. Harris’s approach.

Previously, in another poll also conducted by Reuters/Ipsos in late July, Mr. Trump had an 11% lead over his opponent Harris. Looking at the results of recent surveys, it is clear that the two US presidential candidates are still in a fierce competition like many elections often seen in US election history. Obviously, the obvious difference in views between Ms. Kamala Harris and Mr. Donald Trump, as well as the unexpected factors gradually emerging, are promising to create a fierce competition on the race to the White House.
