前副总统乔·拜登告诉美国广播公司“今夜世界新闻”主播大卫·穆尔他已经在为今年秋天的总统辩论做准备了。
“总统说他已经在为辩论做准备了。是吗?”穆尔问道。
拜登告诉穆尔:“我也是。”“我等不及了。”
民主党总统候选人没有具体说明谁将扮演总统的角色唐纳德·特朗普但重申他正在准备。
尽管拜登今年秋天将有三次机会与特朗普正面交锋，但他的副总统竞选搭档加州参议员卡马拉·哈里斯(Kamala Harris)将在10月份与副总统迈克·彭斯进行一场备受期待的对决。
哈里斯作为一名技术娴熟的检察官的名声让这场比赛更加引人注目，这一点在她在各种参议院听证会(包括当时最高法院提名人的确认听证会)上的提问中经常表现出来Brett Kavanaugh。
她最引人注目的一次交流发生在确认听证会当时最高法院提名人布雷特·卡瓦诺关于生育权的演讲。
“你能想到有什么法律赋予政府对男性身体做出决定的权力吗?”哈里斯当时问道。
卡瓦诺停顿了一下说:“我很乐意回答一个更具体的问题。”
哈里斯回答:“男性对女性。”
这场交易在社交媒体上疯传。这些交流也引起了特朗普总统的注意。在他看来，特朗普批评哈里斯在确认听证会上“极其恶劣”，这是他在拜登提名哈里斯为自己的竞选伙伴后首次发起攻击。

Biden tells ABC's David Muir he 'can hardly wait' for fall debates
Former Vice PresidentJoe Bidentold ABC "World News Tonight" anchorDavid Muirthat he is already preparing for this fall's presidential debates.
“The president said he's already prepping for the debates. Are you?” Muir asked.
“So am I,” Biden told Muir. “I can hardly wait.”
The Democratic presidential nominee didn’t specify who is playing the role of PresidentDonald Trumpin his debate prep, but reiterated that he is prepping.
Although Biden will have three chances to go head to head with Trump this fall, his vice presidential running mate, California Sen. Kamala Harris, will have just one highly anticipated face-off with Vice President Mike Pence in October.
The spotlight on the matchup is heightened by Harris’s reputation as a skilled prosecutor, which was frequently demonstrated in her lines of questioning during various Senate hearings, including the confirmation hearing of then-Supreme Court nomineeBrett Kavanaugh.
One of her most notable exchanges occurred during theconfirmation hearingof then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh about reproductive rights.
“Can you think of any law that gives the government the power to make decisions about the male body?” Harris asked at the time.
“I’m happy to answer a more specific question,” Kavanaugh said after a pause.
“Male versus female,” Harris replied.
The exchange went viral on social media. Those exchanges have also gotten the attention of President Trump, who has criticized Harris for having been, in his opinion, “extraordinarily nasty” during the confirmation hearings in one of his first attacks after Biden named her as his running mate.
