2:08:06Now Playing(Sept. 29) Watch live as President Donald Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden square off in the first presidential debate hosted by Case Western Reserve University and Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, Ohio, from 9 p.m ET to 10:30 p.m. ET on Tuesday, September 29, 2020.
Political pros on both sides are fretting the most about a viral moment that can turn a good performance into a disaster that’s remembered for generations. A single ill-advised answer could turn off a crucial demographic in a battleground state. A subconscious gesture could go viral, undermining the candidate’s carefully constructed image. Or the debate could simply prove a missed opportunity when there’s few of them left before the Nov. 3 election.
Biden has to worry about looking confused or unsure, or even interrupting himself to note that his time is up, as he did several times during the primary debates.
For Trump, experts are watching how he conducts himself in a format that doesn’t suit his off-the-cuff style -- and to see if his boastful lack of preparation leaves him seeming ill-informed against a policy wonk like the former vice president.
Another key is how the candidates speak directly to the states that decide the election. The pandemic has severely limited in-person campaigning, adding importance to the first debate.
