And before those ballots go out, the first presidential debate between Vice President Harris and former President Trump is a week out as the campaigns prepare for the verbal spar in Philadelphia as Fox 40 three's Marshall Keely explains. Pennsylvania is taking center stage in the political world. Once again, we're in a situation where a lot has changed since this night. In late June, the first presidential debate proved to be a turning point in the race for the White House. President Biden's performance created relative panic in the Democratic Party and was the first step toward his exit from the race. The American public got to see firsthand that Joe Biden has really slowed down and it was that exposure to the president that really started to change the direction of this campaign. This time, the setting will be different and the stakes will be higher. Former President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris will face off on the debate stage in Philadelphia next week, Shippensburg University political Chair Dr Alison Dagnes says both campaigns will enter the debate with something to prove for Kamala Harris. She is presenting her policy stands to the American public. Some of whom really are not quite as familiar with her. For former President Trump, it's important for him because he has been losing ground to vice president Harris. He really needs to show that he can stand up to her. I love in Pennsylvania remains a point of emphasis. Evidenced by the candidates, frequent visits to the commonwealth days removed from a campaign rally in Johnstown. The former president will appear for a Fox News town Hall at the Farm Show complex in Harrisburg on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Harris's running mate, Minnesota, Governor Tim Wallace will make two stops in the Keystone State ahead of the all important debate in a deadlocked race. Still, it's within the margin of error which means that Pennsylvania with 19 electoral votes, we are vital whoever wins. Pennsylvania has a big leg up. The presidential debate from Philadelphia will air next Tuesday night, Marshall Keely Fox 43 News.
