The 90-minute debate begins at 9 p.m. ET and airs from the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia. It will be broadcast by ABC News.

Polls show an increasingly tight race between Trump and Harris, who replaced Joe Biden as the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee in July in what Democratic insiders described as a “coup.”

A former U.S. senator from California who was ranked the most liberal member of the Senate, Harris has raised concerns for her record of supporting far-left policies and targeting Catholics.

As attorney general of California, Harris prosecuted Catholic pro-life journalist David Daleiden after he released videos that showed Planned Parenthood executives discussing the sale of aborted baby body parts. As a member of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee, she suggested that a judge nominated by Trump should be disqualified because of his involvement in the Knights of Columbus, citing the Catholic organization’s opposition to abortion and homosexual “marriage.”

Under the Biden-Harris administration, the Department of Justice has used the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act to target peaceful Catholic pro-life advocates like Mark Houck and Paulette Harlow, and the FBI was found to have spied on churches that celebrate the Traditional Latin Mass.

The administration has also tried to force hospitals and doctors to commit abortions and facilitate the surgical and chemical mutilation of gender-confused children.

Polls have nevertheless shown Harris leading Trump among Catholic women and Hispanics.

Trump has slammed the Biden-Harris administration for “persecuting” Catholics and vowed to free pro-lifers jailed by the administration.

Harris, who had a 100 percent pro-abortion voting record as a senator, has made abortion the centerpiece of her campaign and has pledged to sign a federal law that would legalize unrestricted abortion in all 50 states.

She has endorsed the “Women’s Health Protection Act,” a Democratic bill that would declare abortion throughout pregnancy a national “right” and invalidate hundreds of state and local pro-life laws. 

Harris also strongly supports all aspects of the LGBT movement, including “gender transitions” for minors and LGBT indoctrination of children in schools, which Trump opposes.

Harris’ running mate, Minnesota Democratic Governor Tim Walz, has similarly radical pro-abortion and pro-LGBT stances and last year signed a law that legalized abortion up to birth in Minnesota and repealed the state’s parental notification requirement and ban on coerced abortion.

Walz, an ex-Catholic, also signed an executive order and a law protecting underage “gender transitions.”

Trump, who had a pro-life record as president, has said that he would not back a federal abortion ban and has embraced in vitro fertilization (IVF), while at the same time upholding Dobbs v. Jackson, the Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade and allowed states to ban abortion for the first time in nearly 50 years. In February, nearly 90,000 babies were estimated to have been saved so far as a result of the Dobbs ruling, which has devastated the abortion industry in much of the South and Midwest.

Harris and Walz both adamantly support IVF.

Last week, Trump declared that he would vote against a radical pro-abortion ballot measure in Florida.
