Everything will be under a microscope — from the candidates to the moderators to the mics.
Donald Trump speaks during 2020's first presidential debate against Joe Biden Sept. 29, 2020, in Cleveland, Ohio. | Pool photo by Morry GashJoe Biden and Donald Trump will have just 90 minutes tonight to set the tone for the next phase of the presidential campaign — and, perhaps, shake up a stagnant race.
Can either of these candidates do anything to improve their high disapproval numbers and sway those double-haters? For Biden, that’s demonstrating that he understands voter concerns about both consumer prices and the border. That’s true for Trump, as well, but also that he can stay focused on issues. If Trump does throw sand in Biden’s eyes, how does Biden react?
Pramila Jayapal, Democratic representative from Washington and chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus: that caters to the extreme elements of the party instead of tailoring his message to all Republicans and independents.There’s a real economic squeeze on everyday Americans, and the president’s got to acknowledge that pain, and he’s also got to articulate what he is going to do in the next four years to address that concretely.
The standard concern is probably that would veer off the road of propriety — that he goes places he doesn’t need to go. He doesn’t need to beat up on Biden to be successful. Biden will beat himself up. The facts are with Trump. He doesn’t need to gild the lily.
