A coin toss decided the logistics of the debate, with Biden’s team winning and choosing the right side of the TV screen for their candidate, placing Trump on the left. Additionally, Trump will deliver the final closing statement, a strategic advantage he keenly felt denied during his recent criminal trial in New York.
Amidst these developments, concerns about Biden’s debate performance have surfaced. CNN political commentator Jamal Simmons advised Biden to enhance his visual presentation by smiling more to counteract his “resting old face.” This advice underscores the visual aspect crucial in televised debates.
The debate rules are stringent: no live audience, no consultations with aides during breaks, no props or prepared notes, and muted microphones when not speaking. This setup might favor Trump, known for his dynamic speaking style, especially in the absence of a live audience that could otherwise energize Biden.
Experts like CNN’s Van Jones have framed this debate as critical for Biden, suggesting that a poor performance could significantly damage his standing. In contrast, a strong showing against Trump might reinforce his candidacy.
