As Biden and Trump prep for the 2024 presidential debate, what’s at stake?

After facing each other in two 2020 debates, Biden and Trump are set for a rematch as they seek to pull ahead in the 2024 race.
Washington, DC – It began with a quote made famous by actor Clint Eastwood.
“Make my day,” United States President Joe Biden said in a video challenging his Republican adversary, former President Donald Trump, to two debates in the lead-up to the 2024 presidential election. The first airs this Thursday.
In throwing down the gauntlet, Biden gave Trump, who has long boasted of his prowess on the debate stage, an offer he could hardly refuse. Trump soon responded with his own bravado: “I’m ready to go anywhere that you are.”
The back-and-forth ended speculation that the octogenarian Biden and septuagenarian Trump may forgo the nationally broadcast debates, in favour of more controlled, less combative settings for spreading their campaign messages — like rallies, for instance.
Going head to head is a political calculation that carries high risks, according to Aaron Kall, the director of the debate programme at the University of Michigan.
