In a unique marketing move, Donald Trump's campaign has begun distributing pieces of the debate suit he wore in his recent face-off against Joe Biden to fans who purchase pricey digital trading cards. Dubbed the 'knockout suit,' questions arise about how many portions the suit is divided into and their pricing structure. Additionally, the suit's distribution raises ethical concerns about commodifying political memorabilia. On another front, Vice President Kamala Harris's interview on CNN tackles pressing questions about her evolving policy positions, particularly regarding fracking. This marks her first sit-down since becoming a presidential nominee, making it a crucial moment of scrutiny where she defends her shifting stances. The conversation turns towards a confrontation between Trump's campaign and Arlington Cemetery staff over campaign activities on sensitive grounds, linked to the Afghan withdrawal's anniversary, raising debates over the appropriateness of such actions in hallowed spaces. Trump's handling of current issues, including abortion and IVF, indicates a softer position than expected from a Republican candidate, leading to further questions about his alignment with the anti-abortion movement. Harris's campaign strategy involves highlighting Trump's inconsistency, especially as she navigates her identity against criticisms, all while preparing for further interviews and ultimately the debates ahead.
