Former President Donald Trump is making his way to Atlanta for tonight's debate, accompanied by key campaign advisers such as Chris LaCivita, Susie Wiles, and Jason Miller. Miller has been instrumental in overseeing Trump's debate preparations, including policy sessions, logistics briefings, and reviewing past debates featuring President Joe Biden.
Despite attempts to downplay his preparations, senior advisers are confident that Trump will be well-prepared for the debate. His readiness has been honed through discussions with close advisers, former administration officials, and issue specialists who have provided valuable talking points. Trump has also sought opinions from allies to gauge the potential focus of the debate.
Several potential vice presidential picks, including Sens. JD Vance and Tim Scott, and Reps. Byron Donalds and Elise Stefanik, are already in Atlanta engaging in media interviews and events. These candidates are expected to be present in the spin room post-debate, positioning themselves for a spot on Trump's ticket.
