Why the First Debate Could Be Important

Politico: “Tuesday night’s debate might be the last chance for Donald Trump and Joe Biden to command the collective attention of swing-state voters who will decide the election: By the second debate in mid-October, many of them will have already cast their ballots through early voting.”

“It’s why both campaigns have long had Sept. 29 marked on their calendars. A big night for Trump or a bad night for Biden could alter the trajectory of a race that’s barely budged during months of nationwide upheaval.”

Said GOP strategist Mari Will: “This debate will be watched by the country as though it’s tuning into the Super Bowl.”
