President Biden and his team reportedly refuse to acknowledge his dwindling approval ratings ahead of the midterm elections, even as he has agreed to face off against former President Trump in two upcoming debates.
President Biden and his close aides are reportedly in denial about his low approval ratings, despite the fact that he has agreed to participate in two debates against former President Trump ahead of the midterm elections.
According to sources, Biden's team believes that his superior knowledge will become evident in the absence of an audience and distractions. They also believe that the more the public sees of Trump, the better it will be for the president, as his bombastic style will contrast favorably with Biden's subdued demeanor.
However, experts warn that Biden's elderly appearance and thin voice may prove to be a disadvantage against Trump's physical presence and charismatic delivery. Additionally, Trump has proven himself capable of focusing and exercising discipline when he desires.
The agreement between Biden and Trump to debate each other marks a departure from the traditional Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD), which has been responsible for organizing fall presidential debates since 1988. The CPD's format, with three debates held in October after early voting has begun and with a loud audience, has come under criticism.
Both candidates have opted out of the CPD's format, with Biden preferring debates without an audience and with mute buttons to prevent interruptions. Trump, for his part, had been pushing for debates in large venues with a raucous atmosphere.
The upcoming debates are widely considered to be crucial to the outcome of the midterm elections. Biden, who has faced dismal polling numbers throughout his presidency, is hoping to improve his standing with voters by showcasing his knowledge and contrasting himself with Trump.
Trump, on the other hand, will aim to capitalize on his popularity and galvanize his base by attacking Biden's policies and personal attributes. The debates will likely focus on key issues such as the economy, inflation, and crime.
The outcome of the debates could have a significant impact on the control of Congress and the trajectory of the Biden presidency. If Biden performs well, it could boost his approval ratings and give Democrats a better chance of holding onto the House and Senate. However, if Trump emerges as the winner, it could further erode Biden's support and embolden Republicans in their efforts to regain control of Congress.
