Trump calls for a 'drug test' for Biden in lead up to debate, while offering to take one himself

Republican Donald Trump has been convicted of 34 felony counts, with serious charges in three other indictments still pending. As president, Trump nominated three justices who voted to overturn Roe v. Wade, reducing abortion access in America and sparking backlash even in conservative-led states. His ambitious second-term plans include promises of retribution against political enemies in both major political parties.

However, the pressing question for President Joe Biden is whether he can effectively make the case against Trump. Perhaps nothing is more crucial than the energy and strength the Democratic incumbent displays on stage.

Both men have significant flaws that present their opponent with great opportunities and risks. They will face a large national audience, including many people tuning into their 2020 rematch for the first time and who won’t see another debate until September, amplifying each success or mistake.

Biden and Trump will face off Thursday at 9 p.m. ET for 90 minutes inside a CNN studio in Atlanta.
