Claire McCaskill：卡马拉·哈里斯正在积极准备总统辩论，她不会惊慌失措，而是专注于展现实力和亲和力，同时考虑如何巧妙地回应对手。她之前的辩论经验以及对选民心理的把握将成为她的优势。在政治辩论中，候选人（无论男女）都需要展现亲和力，因为公众希望与他们相处融洽。
Andrea Mitchell：卡马拉·哈里斯需要争取摇摆选民、独立选民以及女性选民的支持，以赢得竞争激烈的选举。媒体在报道辩论时，需要关注候选人在复杂问题上的真正立场，例如财政赤字和税收政策，并进行事实核查，但要避免与候选人发生争论。如果主持人过于积极地进行事实核查，可能会导致辩论变成主持人与特朗普之间的争论，而不是候选人之间的辩论。
Jen Psaki：女性在竞选高层职位时面临着独特的挑战，例如需要同时展现亲和力和实力。希拉里·克林顿在竞选中的策略为卡马拉·哈里斯创造了机会，让她不必过多关注性别问题。卡马拉·哈里斯专注于展现自身能力，而不是强调其性别或种族背景，这是一种明智的策略。
