Factbox-What to watch for in the Biden-Trump presidential debate
-The two oldest candidates ever to run for U.S. president meet on June 27 for a televised debate unlike any other. One accuses his rival of being unhinged and a danger to democracy, while the other accuses his opponent of being senile and corrupt.
Trump claims Biden is physically and mentally unfit for office, while Biden has called his predecessor"unhinged" and a danger to democratic norms. "There is a lot of bad blood," said Tevi Troy, a former George W. Bush official who helped that Republican president prepare for the 2004 debates against Democrat John Kerry.
But there is peril for the opposing candidate in trying to correct the record on stage."You have limited time," Troy said."You have to get your points out." "Trump has to seem presidential, said Aaron Kall, a University of Michigan expert on presidential debates. Biden has been trying to reassure voters about the economy for months with mixed results, and Reuters/Ipsos polls have shown Trump with an edge over Biden as the candidate voters trust to handle the economy.
Another danger for Trump: CNN has said a candidate's microphone will be turned off to prevent interruptions when the other is speaking. Trump may decide to try to be heard anyway, risking alienating some viewers in the process.
