Debate Prep - Taliban - Texas Cleans Up Voter Roll

From shoe lifts to avoiding a ‘Tulsi Gabbard moment’: Inside Harris and Trump’s very different debate prep

Donald Trump and Kamala Harris’s approaches to debate prep are, it seems, as different as their politics.

While Harris has been hunkering down with a circle of trusted and experienced advisors – with one even donning three-inch shoe lifts and an ill-fitting suit to play Trump – the former president is reportedly “not spending a lot of time” preparing for the September 10 debate on ABC News.

The vice president has not appeared on the debate stage since 2020 when she faced off with then-vice president Mike Pence, where one of the most memorable moments came from the fly that landed on his head for two minutes and subsequently went viral.

Kamala Harris’ worst ‘word salads’ and gaffes through the years

Vice President Kamala Harris has faced her fair share of mockery over the years — thanks to her slew of word salads, meme-worthy soundbites and ill-timed cackles.

From her confusing love of being “unburdened by what has been,” to falling out of coconut trees and being obsessed with Venn diagrams, the 59-year-old current VP’s head-scratching gibberish has made her the butt of social media mockery and even the focus of late-night TV skits.

Now, after becoming the Democratic front-runner for the 2024 election after President Biden suddenly dropped out of the race, here is a look at some of her truly “Veep”-worthy outbursts and gaffes:

Taliban Marks Three Years In Power By Showing Off American Military Equipment At Former US Base

Over $7 billion worth of U.S. military equipment, including vehicles, weapons, and logistical and tactical assets, were left behind in Afghanistan when the Biden administration withdrew U.S. forces in 2021. The Bagram base, which served as the essential site for the U.S. troops operating in the region during the 20-year Afghanistan war, cost the U.S. tens of billions of dollars in construction and renovations.

Afghanistan after 3 years of Taliban rule: Women silenced and oppressed as ISIS and al Qaeda regroup

The last U.S. troops left Afghanistan on Aug. 30, 2021. Three years later, the Taliban's return to power has allowed al Qaeda and other terrorist groups to regain a presence in the country, and deprived Afghan women and girls of basic freedoms they were granted during two decades of Western-backed government following the U.S.-led invasion in 2001.
