For those of you feeling anxious about the debate

Kamala Harris has been preparing with the best debate prep team in the business.

Philippe Reines, who is better on his worst day than Donald Trump is on his best day, has been playing the part of Trump in her mock debates, he didn't hold anything back and Trump would be lucky to be 10% as good as this guy.
Colin Kahl (former Undersecretary of Defense)
Tom Donilon (President Obama’s National Security Adviser)
Tom Nides (former Ambassador to Israel)
Grace Landrieu (Director for Economic Policy and Labor at the National Economic Council and one helped write the Build Back Better Program)
Brian Nelson (former Undersecretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence at the Treasury Department
Phil Gordon ( former Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs and Special Assistant to the President and White House Coordinator for the Middle East, North Africa, and the Persian Gulf Region under President Obama)
Rebecca Lissner (former Acting Senior Director for Strategic Planning on the National Security Council, helped write President Biden's National Security Strategy and former Director of the Russia Strategy Group
Karen Dunn (one of her Debate Coaches for her prep against Mike Pence, we all remember that one!)
Minyon Moore (former Director of White House political affairs under President Bill Clinton)
Symone Sanders-Townsend (political veteran, author of No, You Shut Up: Speaking Truth to Power and Reclaiming America)

This is going to be a slaughter, I just hope Trump doesn't quit halfway through
