It is expected that the candidates will discuss a wide range of issues in the debate, including the economy, healthcare, climate change, and foreign policy.
Biden's Stumbles in the First Debate
President Biden's performance in the first debate was widely criticized. He was accused of being unprepared, unfocused, and lacking energy. His stumbles played into his biggest vulnerability: his age. Biden is the oldest person to ever serve as president, and some voters are concerned about his ability to handle the demands of the job.
It remains to be seen how much the first debate will affect the outcome of the election. However, it is clear that Biden will need to improve his performance in the remaining debates if he wants to win re-election.
