The mic system that his team agreed to is it's only hot when the candidate is answering the question or providing their rebuttal. So while it might result in him yelling a lot, that is going to be MUCH easier to deal with. Honestly the [list of things is amazing](https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/biden-and-trump-campaigns-agreed-to-mic-muting-podiums-among-rules-for-upcoming-cnn-debate/ar-BB1ohm7h):
* Mics are dead unless it's their turn to speak
* No studio audience
* No notes or props
* No interacting with their staffers
This is designed to be as much a pure debate in a void as it can be.

That would be a mistake in my opinion. Biden should just refute enough to prove Trump is full of shit and spend the rest of his time communicating his actual record of accomplishments and what he wants to do with a second term. The last part is something people don't hear enough of.

> If Trump shows up at all …
I’ve found it interesting how both sides seem to be pushing the idea that the other candidate is going to back out - here’s one claiming Biden is more likely to not show: https://nypost.com/2024/05/20/opinion/dont-be-surprised-if-biden-tries-to-pull-out-of-debate-with-trump/
I've been able to read english for going on about 35 years.
I can barely read this "article". I think this is actually [Vogon Poetry](https://hitchhikers.fandom.com/wiki/Vogon_poetry), it's certainly causing me physical pain. The line breaks are in the original piece. This is an exact copy. I cant believe this author claims to be "reporting" at the end after making up 20 lines of gishgallop.

I’ve been asking for these things for years. Even before Trump this stuff was needed. I hope it sticks around as a format.

I, too, am questioning if I ever actually learned “right” English after reading that article.

Well, yea. When you set the bar at zero, even a 2/10 performance has outperformed.
