Harris previews her Trump debate plan: 'I think he's gonna lie'

• Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris predicted Republican nominee Donald Trump will tell lies in their upcoming debate.
• "There's no floor for him in terms of how low he will go, and we should be prepared for that," Harris told host Ricky Smiley.
• A previous presidential debate between Trump and President Joe Biden went so poorly for Biden that he dropped out of the race weeks later.

Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris is bracing for her Republican rival Donald Trump to mislead and misinform in their first face-to-face debate, she said in an interview that aired Monday.

"I think he's gonna lie," the vice president said on "The Rickey Smiley Morning Show."

Trump "plays from this really old and tired playbook right?" Harris said in the interview, which was taped last Wednesday. "There's no floor for him in terms of how low he will go, and we should be prepared for that."

Smiley had asked Harris how she is preparing to handle Trump's "attacks" and "temperament" during the debate hosted by ABC News, which is set for Tuesday night at 9 p.m. ET.
