Remember the other day when they made President Joe Biden sit at that tiny desk? That was embarrassing.
Don't worry about tonight's debate, though … ABC has made a special tiny podium for Kamala Harris.
This is absolutely hilarious. ABC made a custom mini podium for Kamala Harris to stand at so she would appear to be the same size as Trump on television. pic.twitter.com/fkU2qIQLuc

NEW: Kamala Harris will have a miniature podium during tonight’s debate on ABC against Donald Trump.

The move was requested by Harris’ team who is afraid she will look tiny compared to Trump.

… so the candidates look the same size during the televised split screen.
As noted by Axios, Harris and Trump have one of the largest height differences among presidential nominees in United States history.
Trump is 6’3’’ while Harris is 5’4’’.
One Trump campaign official said the smaller podium “looks like the kids table” at Thanksgiving.
Plus, the New York Times reports that some consider Harris to have "Tall Energy."

Kamala Harris’s height — she is 5 feet 4¼ inches tall — came up over the weekend as a potential issue for Tuesday night’s debate. Donald Trump has insisted she shouldn’t be allowed to use “boxes or artificial lifts” during the debate.

Reminds me of this classic NYT coverage of Hillary in 2016 (yes, this is real) pic.twitter.com/IATQ2bJQva

WTF is Tall Energy?

That’s worse than “Joy”.

I thought she was “brat?” Now she’s Tall Energy? 😂

So instead ABC built her a smaller podium.

What concession was Trump afforded?
I’m guessing none because ABC is in the tank for Kamala.
Ah, they try so hard.

Tall energy? I think they meant vacuum energy, because she really sucks.

It is definitely not an issue and it's crazy that you're reporting like it is

Voters don't care about Harris' height. It's ridiculous for the Times to publish a whole article on her Tall Energy.
