How will Harris debate Trump? Five key moments offer insight

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

46% : Trump is not exactly known for his detailed policy positions either, but voters will be looking for Harris to outline a more precise vision for her presidency when she takes the debate stage on Tuesday.
45% : Trump has reason for concern as he plans for Tuesday.
33% : When he appeared before the Senate intelligence committee, Harris pressed Sessions on his contact with Russian nationals during the 2016 campaign, as he was serving as a surrogate for Trump.
32% : The event will mark the first time that Harris and Trump have ever met face to face, and it comes less than two months after Joe Biden withdrew from the presidential race following his own fateful debate performance in June.
27% : The success of that moment might explain why Harris's campaign fought to have the candidates' mics unmuted at all times during the debate on Tuesday, as that could create an opportunity to establish a similar dynamic against Trump.
23% : The debate will present Trump with his most significant opportunity yet to negatively define Harris in voters' minds, as polls show a neck-and-neck race in key battleground states.
20% : Harris has already deployed her sense of humor to undercut Trump, who has shown no tolerance for mockery, and she may be looking to do so again on Tuesday.
19% : But Harris has also displayed vulnerabilities that could help Trump in the debate.
14% : For Harris, the debate could allow her to deliver on her oft-repeated promise to voters: that she will prosecute the case against Trump.
14% : Harris has blamed Trump for that decision, as he nominated three of the justices who issued the ruling, and she is sure to uplift the fight over abortion access on Tuesday.
10% : Regardless, the pushback against Pence might still teach Trump a lesson going into the debate: Harris refuses to be steamrolled.
