Team Biden expects Trump to 'lie through his teeth' at debate, insist showdown won’t impact race
'Fox News Sunday' anchor Chris Wallace will moderate the first presidential debate
By Brooke Singman | Fox News
Team Biden said it expects President Trump to “lie through his teeth†at the first presidential debate between the two nominees -- while downplaying the significance it could have on the race as Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden face off for the first time next week.
“Fox News Sunday†anchor Chris Wallace has been selected to moderate the first presidential debate between Trump and Biden, the nonpartisan Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) announced earlier this month.
The debate is scheduled to take place Tuesday, Sept. 29 in Cleveland, Ohio.
A source familiar with the former vice president’s campaign told Fox News that they expect Trump will be “extremely practiced†and “prepared†to debate Biden. But the source that “there is no debate performance that can fundamentally shift the race because of what people are living through,†referring to the coronavirus pandemic.
“Everyone is stuck in a reality on account of Trump’s mismanagement, so there is no outcome during the debate that can really change the trajectory of this race,†the source told Fox News. “If Trump has a good debate, which we anticipate, and he has no compunctions about lying through his teeth and making things up on the spot, American life is still defined by his failure to have any plan to beat COVID.â€
The source added: “We know Donald Trump is going to lie through his teeth, but Joe Biden’s goal is to share his agenda, his plan and his values."
