Democratic President Joe Biden and his Republican predecessor Donald Trump will square off at a highly anticipated US debate, offering voters a rare side-by-side look at the two oldest candidates ever to seek the country’s highest office. The 90-minute televised debate, the first between a sitting president and a former one, will air on CNN at 9pm Eastern Time and is expected to draw a huge audience. A record 84 million watched Trump’s first debate in 2016 against Hillary Clinton.
Aaron Kall, a University of Michigan professor and an expert on presidential debates, said this “might be the most highly anticipated and important” one ever, given the closeness of the race, the country’s political polarisation and the potential for gaffes. For Biden in particular, he said, a moment of confusion or forgetfulness would prompt “endless news cycles” about his age and refuel speculation about Democrats possibly replacing him.
