Biden seeks turning point in debate vs. Trump
by Alex Gangitano and Al Weaver - 06/20/24 5:33 PM ET
President Biden and former President Trump will clash on a debate stage Thursday in what will be a pivotal moment in the race for the White House.
Despite low voter enthusiasm, lawmakers and experts are predicting that Americans will tune into Thursday’s debate in droves. Whoever puts on the better performance could seize a huge victory as the race moves to the final stretch.
Both candidates face serious questions from voters about their fitness for office, from issues related to age and temperament. Biden, who is behind in swing-state polls to Trump, in particular needs a game-changing moment.
“I think it’s going to be really important,” Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) said.
“We’ve seen this with other candidates, and if you don’t handle a question correctly or if you misspeak,” she said. “Your answers are pretty consequential, so this is pretty high stakes.”
