Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are preparing for Tuesday’s presidential debate in very different ways. This debate will not only showcase contrasting visions for the country but will also highlight their distinct debating styles.
During the weekend, Harris stayed in a historic hotel in downtown Pittsburgh to practice concise two-minute answers, as required by the debate’s rules. In contrast, Trump has dismissed studying for the debate and is instead focusing on campaign-related events.
Harris, who has a background as a prosecutor, is known for delivering sharp arguments. Trump, known for his confidence and unpredictable nature, often uses insults and interruptions in debates to unsettle his opponents. Trump must also navigate the gender dynamics of debating a woman who could become the first female president.

Harris has developed a methodical approach to debates, blending direct statements with details to form a broader message. She often uses non-verbal cues, such as shaking her head, to express her disapproval during her opponent’s statements.
Trump, who often disregards traditional political rules, remains unpredictable. He has made controversial remarks, including, “Harris only recently ‘turned black.’” Republicans hope Trump will focus on immigration, while Democrats aim to prioritize abortion.
At 59, Harris is almost two decades younger than the 78-year-old Trump. This age difference, which was previously a political advantage for Trump against the 81-year-old Biden, now works in Harris’s favor.
