Biden’s campaign proposed that the first debate between the presumptive Democratic and Republican nominees be held in late June and the second in September before early voting begins. Trump responded to the letter in an interview with Fox News digital, calling the proposed dates “fully acceptable to me” and joked about providing his own transportation.
How many people do you think vote early but would be swayed by a debate?
If someone is voting Biden or trump during early voting, nothing is changing that.
The main benefit (at least for Dems) for debates is convincing possible voters to vote.
And again, it’s not like the nonpartisan committee dictates when the debates are, and I’m pretty sure the ones Biden and trump skipped was the first wasn’t it?
Like, I can’t help but think of the trump voters that rationalize voting trump because politics isn’t perfect. They’re not wrong at identifying a problem, but their solution just makes things worse.
