(TheIndependentStar.com) – Deemed as a make-or-break moment for both candidates after Joe Biden’s career-ending performance, many voters are eager to see tonight’s debate between GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.
The debate, hosted by ABC News, marks the first face-off between the Republican and Democrat candidates. Harris replaced Joe Biden at the top of the ticket after the 81-year-old’s incoherent debate performance in June.
“I’m looking at it like it’s a job interview, it’s who I’m choosing for president,” said Misty Dennis, a 45-year-old Republican from California who plans to vote for Trump.
She added, “What I’ve been hearing is mostly her vibes, and you can’t run the United States of America on vibes only. I am hoping for a great debate where both parties actually lay their policies out on the table.”
Connor Logan, a 23-year-old Republican from Washington, expects the debate “will be informative and entertaining at the very least.”
“I’d like to know how our economy is going to get back on track. I’d also like to know about the candidates’ plans for reducing illegal immigration,” he said.
Similarly, Robert Oliver, a 27-year-old Republican from Utah, said he plans to vote for Trump after supporting Biden in 2020.
“I’m curious to see what they’re both going to do. Kamala Harris has been knocked recently for not doing a lot of interviews and for being underground versus Donald Trump, who usually gets knocked for his style in terms of how he conducts himself during debates and just his loudness,” he stated.
“I’ve decided I’m going to vote for Trump this time, but I would like to see what the vice president has to say. I’d like to see how she performs more off the cuff and without an ability to read from the prompter…” he added.
In addition, Jessi Mazzoni, a 31-year-old independent from Pennsylvania, said she was not planning to watch the debate.
“From what I’ve seen from our debates in the last few elections, they’re just platforms for who can yell the loudest and who’s got the best one-liner that will catch a headline. I haven’t heard anything of substance,” Mazzoni told the BBC.
