JD Vance and Tim Walz are set to hold a presidential debate on October 1, which it appears will go down as the year’s final debate.

Both candidates are in the midst of debate prep, and it was reported previously that Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN), Walz’s fellow Minnesotan and sometime candidate for governor in that state, would portray Walz in Vance’s debate prep. Additionally, Monica Crowley, a longtime conservative pundit who had a role in Project 2025, has been portraying the moderator.

Also, it appears that Trump’s attorney and campaign surrogate, Alina Habba, is part of Vance’s debate prep, per a social media post by Habba:

Habba appears to be sitting in the moderator spot across from Vance, so she seems to have either replaced Crowley or possibly that Vance is using multiple or rotating moderators for his prep.

There were quite a few online reactions to Habba’s choice of debate prep partner:

Trump has hired many lawyers over the years, including some who are seen as some of the most accomplished and respected people in the profession. Habba is not one of those lawyers. Most recently, Habba was in the news for settling a case brought against her by a former Trump National Golf Club waitress who, per The New Republic, had “sued the club alleging that she was tricked into a hush-money deal after a supervisor sexually harassed her.” Habba herself was accused of offering the woman legal advice while also representing the club.

In a separate case, other lawyers for Trump, who represented him in the New York civil fraud cause have “distanced themselves” from Habba, in appealing sanctions.

Newsweek reported this week that the Trump campaign had made payments of $43,333.33 to a company called  Barakkat, which is “linked to Habba,” for “communications consulting.

She also once said this:
