Let's meet our candidates, and get an insight into what we can expect from them.Standing for the Republicans, we have the current vice president, Mike Pence.

Pence, a socially conservative Christian from the midwest, has been rehearsing for the debate with Pam Bondi, the former attorney general of Florida, playing the role of the Democratic candidate, the Axios website reported.It is believed that Pence has a swift plan of attack...

And some of his preparation has involved developing ways to strike his female opponent "without opening himself up to criticism that he is acting in a disrespectful or sexist way," according to NBC News.And, for the Democrats, we have Kamala Harris.

Harris, a former criminal prosecutor and progressive Californian, is widely considered to be a formidable debater.Harris won rave reviews for her performance in an early Democratic debate when she criticized Biden for his record on race...

So people were expecting a real show.Axios reported that Harris is similarly planning to go in on the attack...

And it is anticipated that she will be rebuking both Trump and Pence over their response to coronavirus, healthcare, and beyond.The California senator had apparently “planned a handful of anti-Trump zingers"...

But, given the President’s ill-health, she will tone it down.Much like the debut presidential debate on September 30th, opinions were seriously divided in the run-up to the debate.
On one hand, there was an overwhelming wave of support for Pence.On July 31, 2019, Tulsi Gabbard destroyed Kamala Harris' presidential dreams. Tonight, Mike Pence will destroy Kam… https://t.co/qHEphy579J— Daniel Turner (@Daniel Turner)1602079782.0

But there was one aspect of the debate many found particularly interesting.

The differing Republican and Democratic stances on public healthcare...Harris praised the Affordable Care Act, which has provided millions of Americans with help.

"On the other hand, Donald Trump is in court trying to get rid of the Affordable Care Act, which means that you will lose protections if you have preexisting conditions," she pointed out.Harris then dropped a bombshell.

"If you have a preexisting condition, heart disease, diabetes, breast cancer, they're coming for you.""If you love someone with a preexisting condition, they're coming for you."
via: Getty Images
"If you're under the age of 26 on your parents' coverage, they're coming for you."Watch the epic moment here.
If you have a pre-existing condition, the Trump administration is coming for you. https://t.co/mf6fux03nR— Kamala Harris (@Kamala Harris)1602121761.0
