Presidential Debates: The White Hot Arena
Listen now
Description
In one week, President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden will meet on the same stage in Cleveland for the first of three presidential debates this fall. In a political year marked by so much that is abnormal, the debates should finally look like something recognizable.
For this week's episode, Major Garrett dives into the relatively short history of presidential debates and how they've changed since John F. Kennedy debated Richard Nixon in 1960 in a made-for-television event.
How are the moderators chosen? What do candidates do to prepare? And why do some debate moments live forever?
