Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are set to face off on the debate stage for the first time on Sept. 10. NTD spoke with Americans about their voting methods and the topics they want to see discussed.
Here is what they said about how they are voting.
- “In-person voting, because I just feel comfortable that way.”
- “Absentee. I’m actually going to be out of town during the election season, so I’ll vote absentee again.”
- “I prefer the electronic ballot. It’s just easier. I’m used to being electronic these days, paper-free.”
- “I think I’ll probably vote in person. I like the process of voting. I think it’s really important to engage in and have the whole experience.”
- “At the moment, I don’t really know for sure if I’ll be doing it.”
- “I’m going to plan to vote in person. There’s nothing that’s going to stand in my way of voting, so I’m going to make it happen.”
- “I’ve actually never voted. I just know how the system works, and it’s just not my interest to vote.”
They also shared with NTD what questions they hope moderators will ask during the debate.
- “What are they going to do with the border? We already know what Trump’s going to do, so we’re pretty sold on that. How are they going to decrease inflation?”
- “I prefer questions to be focused more on policy and its impact on everyday people.”
- “There are a few questions. I’m hoping they’re going to talk about immigration and what they’re planning to do for all the migrants that are coming in. I live in Chicago; it’s a sanctuary city, and it’s a big problem right now to provide housing. So that’s a big impact for me.”
- “I’m just curious about how they’re going to tackle the consumer side of inflation and how that has been affecting our economy.”
- “What I’m mostly worried about is Project 2025. Are they aware of the 900 pages? Let’s hear about it.”
- “I’d like to know what their policies are to protect the rights of all Americans, regardless of their religion or preferences.”
- “I don’t have any particular questions. I just want to hear how they talk. I’ve already pretty much made up my mind.”
- “Kamala, being a former prosecutor, is used to holding her own, asking the hard questions, and answering them. I’m interested in seeing Trump up against someone like that.”
- “I just hope they keep it cordial more than anything. In recent years, debates have had a tendency to go off the rails a little bit and become unprofessional, and I don’t want to see that.”
