US Presidential debate: Why Donald Trump had no chance before a Kamala Harris who had done her homework
Kamala Harris’s greatest advantage as she runs for President of the United States at this moment in history is that she is not a White man. More specifically, that she is neither Joe Biden, nor Donald Trump, as she made clear at various points during the live presidential debate with the latter on September 10 — the first time the two were facing off. Harris underlined this by striding over to her opponent’s side of the room, giving him a firm shake of the hand and introducing herself. Some opening jitters aside, Harris went into the debate sounding calm and in control, with a clarity of speech that would have soothed any Democratic fears going back to the disastrous June night when Trump, so to speak, wiped the floor with a clearly in-over-his-head Joe Biden.
