President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are gearing up for a high-stakes debate, with Biden's campaign benefiting from accidentally leaked Trump talking points. CNN moderators Jake Tapper and Dana Bash aim to maintain order and fairness, amidst concerns about past question leaks to Democratic candidates. The debate occurs as Biden faces criticism over foreign policy and high energy costs, while Trump attacks Biden's handling of climate and energy issues. A focus group in Georgia reveals significant voter dissatisfaction with both candidates, with many considering third-party options. Vice President Harris and other Biden administration officials have been publicly advocating for the administration’s policies in Biden’s absence as he prepares for the debate.
