Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, and Republican nominee Donald Trump are scheduled to debate on ABC News on September 10.
The Democratic National Committee holds its convention in Chicago next week to celebrate the nomination of Harris as the party’s presidential candidate.
The four-day event is expected to draw thousands of people to the city in a show of enthusiasm for Harris’ surprise ascent to the nomination after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race.
While it will be like a party inside the convention hall, the streets outside are expected to be heavy with protesters frustrated with the Democratic administration’s support of the way Israel is carrying out its war in Gaza.
