Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump will meet on Tuesday in a debate on ABC News with less than two months before Election Day. ICT readers can participate in an interactive game.
While watching the presidential candidates speak at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, viewers can track what is said during the debate by using an ICT bingo card that lists words and topics that are relevant to the Indigenous community. Words such as MMIP, Indigenous Peoples’ Day or sovereignty are on the card. Will we hear enough words for a classic bingo? With the free space, we only need four words.
The debate is scheduled to begin at 9 p.m. Eastern Time for approximately 90 minutes with two commercial breaks, according to ABC. David Muir and Linsey Davis will moderate.
Debate rules have been set in place to ensure a smooth process. Harris and Trump have previously been in disagreement of when, where and how it should take place.
There also won’t be a live audience and microphones will be muted when either candidates aren’t speaking. Harris and Trump will stand behind lecterns, will not make opening statements and will not be allowed to bring notes.
ICT has reported on Harris’ record on Indigenous issues. In a recent campaign rally speech, Harris mentioned Indigenous voters.
Trump’s pick for vice president, J.D. Vance, has received criticism for what he said about Indigenous issues. But Indigenous voters have expressed support for Trump before the 2020 election.
