US Vice President Kamala Harris is bracing for possible insults, derogatory comments and name-calling from former President Donald Trump as she prepares for Tuesday’s (10) presidential candidates debate, two sources familiar with the matter said.
The team that helped prepare Kamala needed to look no further than Trump’s recent public comments, including at his political rallies, to get an idea of the kind of attacks the GOP nominee might deliver on the debate stage.
“Just look at his rallies,” one of the two sources, a senior adviser, told CNN . “His rallies are a preview of the debate.” Trump recently called Kamala “nasty,” questioned whether she is black and insulted her intelligence.
No one knows how much Trump will be inclined to personally insult his rival tomorrow night — and how much of it will be heard by the audience, since the candidates’ microphones will be muted when it is not their turn to speak. If the microphones were on all the time, Ms. Clinton’s adviser said, “it would show that he does not have the temperament to be president.”
While Kamala read about Trump’s policy positions, past comments and even insults he’s directed at her, two people the vice president spoke with extensively were President Joe Biden and former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton — both of whom have been insulted by the former Republican president on the debate stage.
