Biden and Trump Gear Up for High-Stakes Presidential Debate

President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are set to engage in a high-stakes presidential debate on Thursday, which could be one of the most consequential of modern times. Biden, aged 81, will be intensively preparing at Camp David, acutely aware that any misstep could be detrimental to his campaign.

Biden's team is gearing up to counter aggressive attacks on his physical and mental capacity, his economic record, and his family's past. Trump's team, meanwhile, is advising him to focus on his governing plans while fielding tough questions about his repeated election fraud claims, involvement in abortion rights erosion, and extensive legal issues.

Effectively, this debate may redefine the presidential race, marking a first in several aspects, including the early timing in the general election season, the advanced age of both candidates, and the presence of a candidate with a felony conviction. The political stakes have never been higher as both camps get ready to clash in a CNN studio in Atlanta with no audience and stringent debate rules.
