TAKEOFF,

Trump, Harris Set to Debate Tonight,

Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris will meet tonight in Philadelphia for their first matchup as nominees.

The ABC News debate, moderated by David Muir and Linsey Davis, comes as recent polls have Trump gaining on Harris, including a New York Times/Siena College poll showing Trump leading nationally by 1 point.

Both campaigns have agreed to no audience, controlled microphones, and moderator-only questions. Trump won a coin toss for the closing statement order, while Harris selected her podium position.

These were the same rules as at the first presidential debate between Trump and President Biden. Biden’s performance was so poor that he pulled out of the race in favor of Harris.

And Now, A word From one of Our Sponsors,

Before we go let me tell you about one of the books found on my Bookstore,

Go to https:// payhip.com/ Christian NonFiction eBookStore then scroll down and click on Interactive Romans Road King James Version

Long Ago, when the Roman Empire was at the height of its glory, a common saying was “All Roads Lead to Rome.” I want to tell you about a very special road — a road that existed then and still exists now. This road, now almost 2,000 years old, has never led to Rome. Yet, strangely enough, it is called the Romans Road.

This takes the reader to selected passages in the Book of Romans in the Bible to explain the plan of Salvation. This is the ideal way to share the gospel using your Kindle. The reader can also read the entire book of Romans un-interrupted.
