This week's debate between President Joe Biden and Donald Trump won't produce much in the way of civil dialogue over the nation's future. It's more likely to resemble a demolition derby, with each contestant trying to knock the other off course. After that, Sosnik said, Biden "needs to have a clear narrative about his presidency, what his goals would be for a second term. The hazard Trump needs to avoid: lapsing into complaints about the 2020 election, his conviction or his three pending criminal cases. But Sosnik is skeptical that many undecided voters will bother watching "a debate between two candidates they dislike."
