Some of the biggest debate fireworks in Joe Biden and President Donald Trump's first debate battle could come on the issue of race, amid a backdrop of a nation roiled by the killing and shooting of black men by police, and dueling visions of what constitutes safety in America.
Biden has tried to offer full-throated support to victims of police violence while saying he backs police as well, but Trump has staked his campaign on a law and order approach in the wake of the protests. According to an August analysis by the election data website FiveThirtyEight, unfavorable views of police are trending back to pre-protest levels among whites and"white respondents are also becoming somewhat less likely to say that African Americans face 'a lot' or 'a great deal' of discrimination.
But a debate appeal to the soul of America is not enough for Biden on its own, Haney Lopez said, according to the research he has done for progressive group Way to Win on messaging to Americans around race. He said a message of"coming together" isn't enough for voters, because Trump is saying come together in his own way, in his case against dangerous, un-American forces.
