Trump, Biden Prep for Debate Where Any Misstep Threatens Hopes.

President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are preparing for their first debate in a tight race where most Americans have already made up their minds. Biden's team, led by former chief of staff Ron Klain, is blocking off time at Camp David for debate preparation. Trump's preparation is being run by a small circle of aides, and he prefers informal workshops rather than formal preparation. The upcoming debate will not have a live audience, and microphones can be muted, which may play to Biden's strengths. Both candidates will likely focus on key issues such as the economy, immigration, and foreign policy. The first debate in 2020 had a large viewership, and the candidates have agreed to participate in a second debate. [Extracted from the article]
