Journalist and author, Nelson Aspen has claimed that Kamala Harris should brace for "ugly personal attacks" from her rival Donald Trump.
It comes after Elon Musk, a keen Trump supporter, interviewed the former President on X and lavished him with praise.
Donald Trump insulted Harris several times, referring to her as "third rate", "incompetent" and "a radical left lunatic".
Speaking to GB News, Aspen said: "Trump's engaged Tulsi Gabbard to help him prepare for the debate. She's going to play the role of Kamala Harris to help him launch what's going to be anticipated as very ugly personal attacks.

"Donald Trump said this week he thinks he's entitled to make those personal attacks after the lawfare that the Democrats have waged against him in the US court system.
"So it's going to get a lot uglier before it gets better.
"It doesn't help that this week, Time magazine basically deified Kamala Harris' candidacy by putting an illustration of her on the cover that made her look like Joan of Arc."
In the interview, despite launching attacks, Trump praised his rival for her looks on the magazine cover.
"She looks like the most beautiful actress ever to live...It was a drawing, and actually, she looked very much like a great first lady, Melania," he said.
He also expressed anger that Harris had been swapped in for Biden on the Democratic ticket.

Biden and Trump agreed to debate on 10 September in May as part of two presidential debates.
The first debate, hosted by CNN, occurred on June 27, and Biden's bizarre performance began the calls for the president to pull out of the race.
Biden said that if he had remained, the race would have been too close for comfort for Democrats fearing the prospect of a second Donald Trump presidential term.

In the weeks after the debate, Biden was fighting against an increasingly ferocious tide in a desperate bid to save his re-election bid, but the pressure eventually took its toll.
He insisted in the interview he only wanted to be a one-term "transition president" to welcome in new leadership.
