As President Trump and Joe Biden head into Tuesday night's first presidential debate in Cleveland, Ohio, debate experts tell NBCNews both bring wildly different skills to the stage that they can use to their advantage — or peril.
over 90 minutes: the Trump and Biden records, the Supreme Court, Covid-19, the economy, race and violence in American cities and the integrity of the election.
"Name-calling, bullying — in some ways Trump has created this expectation, where we start to expect that behavior from him," McKinney said."If there are unpresidential moments, people now just kind of ignore it." "It's Biden's job to show up and have an aggressive debate performance where he'll put those concerns to rest," McKinney said."When he gets angry, he starts talking quickly, his stutter comes in and he loses focus," he said."He has to retain focus and come across as presidential."
"Trump drives me crazy as a debate coach because he will use an unsupported claim to support another claim," Millsap said."When he speaks to his base or at rallies, people want to believe it. In a debate, I'm thinking it’s not going to be as successful because you can have someone correct you."
