This Thursday’s could be the most important debate in history of the United States, with Joe Biden and Donald Trump tied according to the polls. What they say, how they say it and how they react can be decisive for the outcome of the United States elections and can even cost the Democratic president his candidacy. Thus, the expectation is maximum before a historic face to face for the unusualwhich up to 80 million people could tune in.
To begin with, it is the first time that a president and a former president star in it Americans: one, Biden, seeking re-election, and the other, Trump, seeking to return to the White House. But, in addition, both They compete as candidates without being officially candidates yet, since the conventions of their respective parties are still weeks away. Republicans will officially appoint theirs from July 15 to 18, while Democrats will not do so until the second half of August.
Furthermore, the meeting is not organized by the Presidential Debates Commission and It will not have an audience either., as is tradition. For Aaron Kall, an expert on presidential debates at the University of Michigan, this “could be considered the most important presidential debate of all time“. “The race is extremely tight, the country is very divided and polarized,” he points out.
Trump has the most to win and he comes out determined to attack, especially economically and due to the age of the current president, who, according to analysts, is the one who has the most to lose: without clear leadership – it is rumored in the Washington gossip mills – if he does not triumph, Democrats could even make it fall of the poster as a candidate.
Biden, for his part, will attack the New York populist in this ‘pre-debate’ for appearing as convicted felon -is he first president convicted of US history -, because abortion is no longer a federally protected right thanks to the conservative judges he appointed and because he wants to return to being commander in chief for his personal vendettas.
