What Mary Trump, Amy Klobuchar and Byron Donalds are saying.
The spinning in CNN’s official Spin Room here on Georgia Tech’s campus began hours before either Joe Biden or Donald Trump arrived. Campaign surrogates and allies of Trump and Biden fanned out across the ruby red carpeted arena to talk about what’s at stake — and lay out their own prescriptions for how they should handle the night.
Here’s what we heard: Rep. Byron Donalds: The Florida Republican told POLITICO he spoke with Trump yesterday and was confident that the former president is ready. His advice for the moderators? Avoid a “Candy Crowley moment,” referring to when the former CNN host fact-checked then-Republican nominee Mitt Romney live during the 2012 debate. . Mary Trump: The former president’s estranged niece told CNN she was there campaigning for Biden because she wanted “to send a very clear message to the American people that we could not make a more egregious mistake than letting Donald Trump, again, anywhere near the levers of power.” Sen. Amy Klobuchar: The Minnesota Democrat, who debated Biden during the Democratic primary in 2020, told CNN it is “fair game” for Biden to bring up Trump’s felony conviction. “I would take 81 over 91. That would be 91 indictments for criminal behavior, which Trump has,” Klobuchar said in response to a question about how Biden should handle any questions about his age. But she also said she liked seeing Biden mix and mingle with supporters before the debate: “He loves talking to people.” Presidential DebateKlobuchar was referring to the scene here in Atlanta shortly after the president arrived in Atlanta and shook hands with some of his supporters carrying Biden signs and “Dark Brandon” cut-outs. Meanwhile, Trump was greeted by supporters when he touched down on his name-branded private plane. He headed straight to the debate where he will be holding with some of his senior advisers. Because no audience is allowed, those encounters will be the only time they see their fans before things kick off.
