Vice President Kamala Harris has been issued a stark warning as she prepares to face election rival Donald Trump in their first head-to-head debate tonight.
The US Presidential hopefuls will plead their cases to the world after throwing a series of blows at each other throughout the election campaign.
After Vladimir Putin's unexpected endorsement of Harris, Trump told supporters at a rally in Michigan that he was "deeply offended" by the move, and declared that his Democrat rival will be the "worst President in history".
Detailing his predictions ahead of the live televised debate, GBN America correspondent Steven Edginton said this was a "crucial moment" in the election battle and will allow both Harris and Trump to play out their policies "on the national stage".

Steven explained: "This is a crucial moment in the presidential election ahead of November 5. Kamala Harris and Donald Trump have never actually met in person, despite Kamala Harris being Vice President for four years.
"So this is going to be a very interesting moment for both candidates."
Comparing the performances of Harris and Trump on the public stage, Steven highlighted that Trump is at a slight advantage as Harris is "unfamiliar" with leadership debates.
Steven added: "Kamala Harris really wants to display her policies on the national stage, and many people don't know too much about her.

"They think she's a bit unfamiliar, whereas Donald Trump, he'll want to land some blows on Kamala Harris."
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
Issuing a warning to Harris ahead of the debate, Steven claimed that the former President is preparing to "criticise and scrutinise" her after receiving a boost in the polls.
Steven told GB News: "She's had a pretty good summer with the DNC, she's had a bit of a boost in the polls, so this is really an opportunity for him to scrutinise her, to criticise her, perhaps in a way that she hasn't faced before.
"She's had a very light campaign in terms of scrutiny from the media, she hasn't done too many interviews - so this really is an opportunity for both candidates to lay some blows, to set out their policies on the national stage."
Offering his verdict on the Presidential candidates, host Tom Harwood questioned if the efforts of the Harris camp to "change the rules" on the debate are true.

Revealing details of the reported Democrat attempt to change the proceedings of the debate, Steven said: "The rules will stay the same, both candidates will not be able to interrupt each other while the other candidate is speaking.
"People are speculating that this will help Donald Trump, and it certainly helped him in his debate with Joe Biden. It made him look a bit more presidential, a bit calmer.
"Kamala Harris's team, they tried to change the rules in this debate. They wanted the mics to be on the entire time."
Steven stressed: "Again, this is just speculation. But people predicted that the reason they wanted the mics to be on was so that Kamala Harris can be shown to be interrupted by Donald Trump, and she can kind of slap him down for that."
