United States: President Donald Trump.
The first meeting, in Cleveland at the end of September, turned into a verbal parlor fight, unlike anything seen previously in the debates of the American presidential elections, but since then the contradictions have deepened even more, so the The risk is imminent that an even more violent and chaotic confrontation now awaits. .
For the past week, both campaigns have been at war over the format of the duel in the unthreatened stronghold of country music on earth. Trump’s side is furious that the organized commission has changed the issues for discussion at the last minute, “to benefit the candidate who prefers the commission,” as campaign manager Bill Stepien put it. Moderator Kristen Welker has also come under fire, according to the president himself “a radical left-wing Democrat,” and she’s not happy that she can turn off the candidates’ microphones if, as in Cleveland, they interrupt each other. Biden’s camp responds that they all agreed a long time ago that the moderator should be able to choose topics, and furthermore, the recently sick president from covid should show a negative test result on Thursday.
“They play”
Therefore, there is still some uncertainty as to whether the debate will end at all. No one can be one hundred percent sure until both gentlemen are actually on stage.
But experts continue to believe that, mainly because Trump, right now at a distinct disadvantage in all opinion polls, needs this last chance to crush his rival.
– Despite dissatisfaction with the choice of topic, the moderator and the muted microphones, the ones I speak in the Trump campaign are played before this debate, says NBC White House correspondent Shannon Pettypiece.
– They and the President see this as the last chance to cement Biden’s image as corrupt and will attack him incessantly if what he believes has surfaced in his son Hunter’s email.

Political science professor Stephen Farnsworth also believes Trump is planning a violent offensive.
– It is the last event of the electoral movement with a really large audience and you need a good night to change the bad wind, tells Market Watch.
“It is urgent”
At the same time, Farnsworth points out that the president cannot be content with indulging already convinced supporters who, unlike media commentators, love when he completely runs over his opponents in debate, but also insecure voters who still they have not decided who they want to see as president. the next four years.
– And you’re in a hurry, millions have already started voting.
According to Shannon Pettypiece, those who run his campaign like to see the president adopt a different tactic than usual, at least occasionally.
They expect me to step back from time to time and instead give Biden room to enter terrain that makes him appear on less favorable days, she says.
But Trump is Trump and he will not step back voluntarily. So no one should be surprised if all Nashville steel guitars and violins are overwhelmed by a deafening new monster fight tonight.
