I really don’t understand why Harris doesn’t just do Town Hall after Town Hall everywhere. Even Sanders did a Fox News town hall (though in this case I doubt fox would offer).
Town Hall events seem perfect to get Trump out of the way, and have Americans get to know you. Do like 3 in PA.
I’m cool with a debate to showcase the contrast and prove Harris can hold her own. But the nature of these faux debates always seem to give the advantage to the bully. So with that said, it’s not necessarily about policy but vibes. Obama did tons of town halls for this reason. Many voters including in the most recent NYT Siena poll just don’t know enough about her yet. A town hall gives that chance that is less scripted than a rally and more personable than a debate.
Of course trump has the advantage. He will scream the n-word at the top of his lungs and will just mute Kamala to protect him. That is a given
But Kamala still needs to get up there and show she can “hold her own”. Because that gets rid of the inevitable “Are you afraid to debate me? Biden tried once and then he had to run home and cry about his dead son instead” attacks.
They’ve been waiting for this debate to do a huge PR blitz. Trump is exhausting his campaign by doing non-stop bullshit events, and she needs to really get it out there that he is deranged, and possibly embarrass him on national TV, then just hammer that home until election day.
Once this one is out of the way, expect them to have a bunch of new events out there (especially Walz).
Bernie can go anywhere and talk with anyone because he’s always been true to his ideals, there’s little chance of being caught out by a tough question.

Because people generally don’t care about policy. And those of us who do can just listen to reputable reporters.
As far as the public is concerned, trump scared Biden off in that last debate. Kamala needs this to show she is “stronger” as it were.

Harris can’t say the same.
