President Biden and former President Trump are gearing up for what is expected to be a historic clash in the first presidential debate of 2024. The two candidates are taking vastly different approaches in their preparations for the highly anticipated event.
Trump has been avoiding mock debates with his team and instead focusing on meeting with close allies and hitting the campaign trail. He has been gathering with Republican allies for private meetings, including potential vice presidential running mates, senators, and policy experts. Discussions have centered around debate messaging on the economy and how to target Biden over inflation.
On the other hand, Biden has chosen to hunker down in the days leading up to the debate by prepping with his advisors at Camp David. His former chief of staff, Ron Klain, is leading the president’s debate prep, focusing on ways to hold Trump accountable for his record and statements on the campaign trail.
Both candidates are expected to meet on the debate stage only one other time ahead of the November general election. The debate is scheduled to be held next Thursday in Atlanta, much earlier than in any previous election cycle.
As the candidates gear up for this crucial event, the nation eagerly awaits to see how they will fare in what is sure to be a heated and closely watched debate. Stay tuned for more updates on the 2024 campaign trail.
