As the anticipation builds for the upcoming presidential debate, the spotlight is on whether Joe Biden and Donald Trump can meet the expectations set for them. With concerns about Biden's age and Trump's discipline, the debate is shaping up to be a crucial moment in the campaign.
Despite doubts surrounding Biden's stamina and sharpness, he is expected to clear the low bar set by his critics. Trump, on the other hand, faces scrutiny over his rambling speeches and stream-of-consciousness style, with questions raised about his ability to maintain focus during the debate.
While Biden is preparing for a strong performance after a week of preparation, Trump is known for his energy and ability to engage with his audience. However, the real test for Trump lies in his level of discipline during the debate.
Both candidates are expected to come out swinging, with Biden aiming to prove his critics wrong and Trump looking to showcase a more restrained version of himself. The lack of an audience and muted-mic rule may work in Trump's favor, allowing him to avoid the interruptions that marred his previous debate performance.
As the debate unfolds, all eyes will be on how Biden and Trump present themselves and handle the challenges thrown their way. With both candidates facing rustiness from not having debated in four years, the stage is set for a showdown that could have a significant impact on the campaign.
