- Harris and Trump initiate a televised face-off by extending a handshake.

During their initial TV faceoff, Democratic hopeful Kamala Harris and Republican front-runner Donald Trump exchanged greetings with a handshake. At the venue in Philadelphia, Harris identified herself as "Kamala Harris," shaking hands with Trump. The debate between Trump and former Democratic presidential contender Joe Biden in June commenced without a handshake. Biden's performance in the event was so abysmal that Trump opted out of the election, designating Harris as his replacement as Vice President. Now, Harris is working towards claiming the top position in the American government post-presidential election on November 5.

Despite Trump's initial invitation for a handshake, I'm not going to shake his hand during our upcoming debate. Regarding the speculations about Trump's potential return to the election, I'm focusing on my campaign and preparing for the role of President, should I win on November 5.
