Harris, Trump to face off in 1st presidential debate
Final preparations are underway in Philadelphia Tuesday morning as Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump prepare to share the stage.
This is not only the first presidential debate for the 2024 elections, but it’s also the first time that the two candidates will formerly meet each other in person — and it could be their only debate.
With the election less than 60 days away, as of right now, there is not another one scheduled.
Tuesday’s debate will be Trump’s seventh general election debate and Harris’ first — and her presence is highly anticipated. She’s only sat for a formal interview once in the six weeks since taking over the Democratic ticket.
Sources tell NBC News Harris has spent the better part of the last five days in debate preparations in Pennsylvania, participating in hours-long mock sessions with a Trump stand-in. Meanwhile, the former president has been at Mar-a-Lago doing, what sources describe as, informal debate prep.
A New York Times-Siena College poll of likely voters found Trump ahead of Harris 48% to 47%, within the poll’s margin of error, indicating that what is said Tuesday night may give either candidate the edge they need as they head into the final stretch.
Hours after the debate, the first early ballots of the presidential race will go out. Absentee ballots are set to be sent out beginning Wednesday in Alabama.
The debate will begin at 9 p.m. Tuesday.

Revere teachers and students call on city leaders for help curbing school violence
Teachers in Revere, Massachusetts, are sounding the alarm about increasing violence throughout the school system.
Educators with the Revere Teachers Association packed into City Hall Monday, urging city councilors for additional safety measures.
In the most recent incident, video shows a brawl at Revere High School involving over a dozen students.
“Students are scared,” said teacher Michelle Ervin. “It started on the second floor, came down a stairwell, and ended on the first floor.”
Ervin says the school’s assistant principal was hurt in the fight.
“She was seriously injured, and it seems to be being swept under the rug,” she said.
More Revere news
“We’ve been sounding the alarm for the health and safety crisis that are students are facing for years,” said Jane Chapin, co-president of the Revere Teachers Association.
Students were also at the Revere City Council meeting Monday, calling for change.
“I think in order to feel safe, I need more discussions with administrations, with staff, and also to make sure that we’re not just focusing on metal detectors or more police officers,” said Erta Ismahili, who attends Revere High School.
Chapin walked through the doors of City Hall holding a petition with over 750 signatures and a list of proposals which she said union members previously brought before city councilors in March.
“They have abdicated their responsibility to the students of Revere,” she said.
The association asked for a system to track violent incidents throughout the school year, additional guidance councilors and more support for the city’s special education system.
