Polls conducted before tonight’s debate between the US presidential candidates show that voters prefer former President Donald Trump on issues of the economy and immigration. In contrast, current President Joe Biden scores higher on topics such as abortion, healthcare, and the environment.
This debate provides an opportunity for both candidates to make a strong case in their areas of strength while simultaneously defending their weaknesses. Biden must try to convince voters that he understands their concerns about rising immigration and has plans to address the issue that Republicans have blocked.
On the other hand, Trump needs to reassure voters that he will not impose further restrictions on abortion if re-elected, especially after his Supreme Court appointees voted to overturn the nationwide right to abortion.
For over a year, Biden has been trying to persuade the public that the economic situation is better than the general perception. Tonight, he has the chance to make his arguments again in front of millions of viewers, but he must be prepared for fierce attacks from his opponent. Trump is expected to focus on the problem of inflation, which has persisted since the start of Biden’s presidency. The winner of this debate will be the one who can better defend their weaknesses and highlight their strengths.
