🤡 Hegemon’s political agenda: crowd sizes

Kamala Harris's team has put up outdoor ads in Philadelphia, just hours before the US presidential debate, mocking Donald Trump’s statements on the significance of crowd sizes at rallies.

Earlier, Barack Obama poked fun at Trump's comments about the number of people attending both his and Kamala Harris's events.

Debate poses challenge for Harris amid rising voter frustration

Journalist and author Dan Lazare sat down with radio Sputnik’s Political Misfits to preview the event, predicting that Harris will have the more difficult task in the debate.

“I think that Trump is gonna try to tie Harris to the Biden administration. Hold her responsible for all the things that have gone wrong - inflation, Afghanistan,” Lazare began, arguing that Harris will try to “make the case that she somehow simultaneously stands for continuity and change.”


“The question is whether… Trump can block that strategy or not,” he added.


Ultimately, Lazare said that Harris has the harder task because “all the polls show that people are really hungry for change. They feel the status quo is totally dysfunctional.” Lazare noted that the argument that Harris is both the continuity candidate and the change candidate “doesn’t make any sense” to him but that “maybe it’ll make sense to enough viewers to squeak out a victory.”

The best strategy for Harris, one that she is sure to lean on heavily during the debates, is to focus on the abortion issue. A recent poll showed Trump leading Harris by just two points in Florida, a significant drop off from Trump’s 3.7-point win over Joe Biden in the sunshine state in 2020.

One reason for the drop may be a voter initiative ballot in the state that would loosen restrictions on abortion.

“The Republicans are on very dangerous territory on the abortion issue. It’s not a popular stance,” explained Lazare. “And the Republican culture war is not popular either. Most people don’t want to ban books in libraries. Most people think it’s really, really silly. But, nonetheless, this is a central issue as far as the Republicans are concerned and they can’t let it go. So, they could well end up paying a price.”


The US Presidential debate is scheduled to begin at 9 pm EST (1 am GMT).

A group of protesters opposing judicial reform stormed the Mexican Senate building in the capital, where the reform was being debated. The demonstrators breached the chamber, disrupting proceedings in the upper house of Congress.

Earlier, the plenum of the Chamber of Deputies of Congress, as well as the constitutional affairs and legislative studies commissions of the Mexican Senate, approved a draft reform of the judiciary, which provides for the election of top judges and limits on their income.

The initiative by outgoing President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador is being considered in parliament amid protests against the changes by judges and judicial officials, as well as opposition parties. An indefinite nationwide strike in Mexican courts, including the supreme court, began in late August.

Kamala Harris will use a shorter podium than Donald Trump during the debate to account for their significant height difference, Axios reported. The move aims to make them appear closer in stature on split screens, but critics find it a bit absurd.

A Trump campaign official mocked the adjustment, comparing it to "the kids' table at Thanksgiving," the report said.

"She's a Marxist" - Trump

"Everything that she believed three years ago and four years ago is out the window. She's going to my philosophy now," Trump emphasized.


Last month, Harris announced that she was in favor of ending sales tax on tips, the same policy Trump had promoted earlier in the campaign.

"In fact, I was going to send her a MAGA hat," Trump revealed.

Harris repeats ‘working around the clock’ line regarding ceasefire

Harris was asked how she would break the deadlock that Biden has been unable to break and repeated a line that she said before, claiming that her and Biden are “working around the clock” to secure a ceasefire.

“What we know is that this war must end. It must end immediately and the way it will end is we need a ceasefire deal and we need the hostages out. So we will continue to work around the clock on that. Work around the clock also understanding we must chart a course on a two-state solution.”


Harris did not say how that would be secured, but stressed that she would “always give Israel the ability to defend itself.”
