Biden, Trump will cover SCOTUS, coronavirus, race and violence in first debate
September 29, 2020: Joe Biden and Donald Trump will debate for the first time in Cleveland on Tuesday night. Howie Hawkins completed Ballotpedia’s Candidate Connection survey.

Notable Quote of the Day

“With so much of the electorate already clear on whom they will support, I think the key thing to watch for is: ‘What will move undecided voters?’ I define that as people who are either soft Biden or Trump supporters, backing a third-party candidate or undecided. And those people aren’t likely to tune into a debate but will see whatever two to three moments get replayed on Facebook, shared on social media, etc.”

– Perry Bacon Jr., FiveThirtyEight senior writer​​​​​
