Summary of Biden and Trump prepare for first 2024 presidential debate
Both President Biden and former President Trump are preparing for the upcoming presidential debate, with Biden heading to Camp David to strategize with advisers and Trump holding private meetings with allies. The debate will feature only two podiums as RFK Jr failed to qualify. Biden's team is focusing on highlighting his accomplishments and preparing to go on the offensive against Trump, while Trump aims to appeal to working voters by discussing tax policies and infrastructure. The ground rules for the debate include muted microphones and no audience participation to allow viewers to focus on the candidates. RFK Jr's absence from the debate stage is noted, with both campaigns aware of the need to reach non-traditional voters. The Biden campaign is prepared for potential attacks on Hunter Biden, emphasizing empathy and support for him. Trump's own legal issues may deter him from focusing on Hunter Biden. Both campaigns are gearing up for a crucial debate that could sway undecided voters.
