A review of her most memorable moments on the debate stage and the dais offer clues to how she’ll take on Trump.

Harris generally excels at making clear and direct points using a professional and controlled tone, even when the underlying substance is dubious. She also tends to home in on narrow but evocative points that can resonate with the audience. Often, she manages to disarm her interlocutors and make them visibly — sometimes admittedly — nervous about responding to her.

The big question, of course, is how effective these particular skills will prove to be against Trump, particularly given the agreed-upon debate rules, which will give Harris much less leeway to tangle directly with her adversary. She will also have to adapt her style to deal with a man whose style — rambling and often incoherent — is almost diametrically opposed to her own.
