Let's debate: Biden and Trump agree to two televised debates, bucking commission
This won't be her first time taking on the big stage, so here's a look back at two of Harris' most notable debate moments.
Harris took on Mike Pence in 2020 vice presidential debate
While an overall respectful debate, Harris and Pence, in the only vice-presidential debate in 2020 moderated by USA Today's Susan Page, covered controversial ground like the COVID pandemic, Amy Coney Barrett's addition to the Supreme Court of the United States, police reform and George Floyd.
Harris attacked the Trump administration's approach to combatting the COVID pandemic and claimed the administration "knew what was happening, and they didn't tell you" about the "nature of this pandemic."
After the debate, Harris' favorability numbers improved, according to a FiveThirtyEight and Ipsos analysis. Harris and Biden would later win the ticket to the White House.
'There was a little girl in California who was part of the second class to integrate her public schools'
On a 2019 stage crowded with 10 Democratic presidential primary candidates debating in Florida, Harris took the spotlight for her remarks. First, taking charge of a busy debate by saying "America does not want to witness a food fight they want to know how we're going to put food on their table."
Most notably, she made headlines for her fiery message toward Vice President Joe Biden's comments on school bussing, saying his stance personally hurt her.
"There was a little girl in California who was part of the second class to integrate her public schools, and she was bussed to school every day," Harris said during the debate aired on NBC. "And that little girl was me."
Despite Harris dropping out in December, Biden selected her as his running mate, and she would later become the first Black and South Asian American woman VP in the US.
