Kamala goes to 'debate camp'

Vice President Kamala Harris is traveling to Pennsylvania on Thursday for a week of preparation for her pivotal debate next Tuesday with former President Donald Trump. 

Advisors are keenly aware that a bad or stumbling performance could have a significant impact on her presidential campaign.

Voters have yet to hear her defend the first three years of her vice presidency and chart a path forward away from President Joe Biden. 

Sources close to the Harris team [concede] that Harris is a little rusty on the debate stage as 'strategy sessions have careened sideways' when Harris 'focused too narrowly on minute details, effectively trailing the sessions.'

Harris began preparing for the debate three weeks in advance, holding practice sessions at Howard University in Washington, DC, before plans were set for more intense preparation sessions. 

Harris and her team plan to run through full-length mock debates to make sure she is prepared and has her talking points ready.

“We’re taking a different approach this time”, Kampalla spokesman Ugottabkiddinme told FWIW. “For one, no beach time — we lost entire days while the old man toddled around in the sand; and, two, no pudding cups, no ice cream before the debate itself — they gave our guy gas awful bad, and he just couldn’t concentrate. It’s bathtub collard greens for the little lady, and maybe a school bus tire or two.”
