Vice President Kamala Harris is set to take the stage at a CNN town hall in Chester Township, Pennsylvania, just a couple of weeks before the election. This event comes after CNN proposed a debate between Harris and former President Donald Trump, which Trump declined. Harris has been harshly criticizing Trump's mental fitness for office, describing him as incoherent and unfit. Meanwhile, Trump has been lashing out at various voter groups supporting Democrats.

The race is looking like a toss-up, with both campaigns showing frustration over stable polling numbers. Here are some things to look out for during Harris' town hall moderated by CNN's Anderson Cooper:

Trump Talk

Harris has been questioning Trump’s mental and physical fitness for another term. She has cited examples of his odd behavior, like dancing during a town hall. But voters also want to know more about Harris' policy plans.

The Biden Balance

Harris has been careful about discussing Biden, showing loyalty while acknowledging differences. She's trying to reassemble Biden's 2020 coalition, which includes strong Black voter support.

Countering Attacks

Trump has been launching profane attacks on Harris. It will be interesting to see if she responds directly or brushes them off.

Abortion Rights

With the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, abortion rights are a key issue for Democrats. Harris is likely to emphasize her support for abortion rights and the practical issues caused by Trump's policies.

Courting Republicans

Harris has been joined by former Rep. Liz Cheney, a conservative who is backing her due to the election's stakes. Harris aims to be a president for all Americans, hoping to sway on-the-fence Republicans and GOP-leaning independents.

This big-tent politics strategy could signal a historic shift in American politics if successful.
