Democratic Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro told “The View” on Friday that Vice President Kamala Harris should not “underestimate” Republican nominee Donald Trump ahead of the upcoming presidential debate.

Harris and Trump are scheduled to participate in their first face-off on Sept. 10 with ABC News, the first debate the vice president will appear in since entering the presidential race. Shapiro warned Trump is a “skilled debater” and a good “showman” who should be taken seriously on the debate stage.

“Listen, as much as we want to criticize Donald Trump, ‘he’s a liar, he’s all these things,’ I think you’ve said it before, people know Donald Trump,” Shapiro told “The View” co-hosts. “He is a skilled debater. He is a guy who’s willing to say anything at any time just to get through a question. And he’s a showman, he’s been on TV before. So don’t underestimate Donald Trump.”

Shapiro then said Harris is “as tough as nails” and will be well prepared for this “tough debate.”

Trump debated President Joe Biden on June 27 when he still remained in the 2024 presidential race, but the president’s performance led him to drop out of the race on July 21 after prominent members of the Democratic Party lost faith in his ability to defeat the former president.

Trump challenged Harris to three debates throughout the month of September during an unexpected Aug. 8 press conference at Mar-a-Lago. In early August, the former president agreed to participate in a Sept. 4 Fox News debate set to be moderated by Martha MacCallum and Bret Baier, though Harris has only committed to the ABC News debate.

The 90-minute debate will be held in Philadelphia at the National Constitution Center and will mute the microphones until it is the candidate’s turn to speak, according to ABC News.

Pollster Frank Luntz said on Monday that Trump has the ability to question Harris on issues that she will not be able answer for, including inflation, policy and how life under his administration compared to hers and President Joe Biden’s.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
