While there are no guarantees that the second debate won't be the dumpster fire that was the first, Scully's famously calm demeanor could make things easier. Here's what to know about him.
Scully explained his career history and how he got involved in the world of politics—and it has a lot to do with Biden.
"You know, it was pretty traditional," he said. "I came to school in Washington, D.C., went to American University and had a couple of internships. I worked for Joe Biden, Senator from Delaware at the time, as an intern, so I had my first chance to really see politics up close in Washington, D.C."
After that, Scully worked for Senator Kennedy in his 1980 campaign before going to Northwestern for grad school on scholarship. His original plan was grad school, then law school, but he fell in love with journalism while he was there.
Scully has worked for C-SPAN since 1991. He's currently a producer, correspondent, and host for one of their morning programs, The Washington Journal. He's also in charge of the network's White House coverage. He's even served on the Executive Board of the White House Correspondents' Association, where he was the president of the association from 2006 until 2007.

How about Tucker Carlson as moderator? How about Mark Levin, or Judge Jeanine?
Agree
Answer: A leftist Beltway hack who has voted Democrat in every election since college (where he was a solid B student). I don’t need to read up on him.
Just another Leftist hack. But I’m sure he’ll be impartial. < / ROTFL>
This guy sounds like a pushover. Trump will eat his lunch.
I’m good with that.
Baffles me why Trump agreed to this. I assuming because Biden wouldn’t accept otherwise.
Great. No suprise.
Trump isn’t afraid to stand in the fire.
He gets more grudging respect as a leader that way, from those who may not agree with him on everything.
I’ve watched Steve Scully for years on C-SPAN. Never gotten any kind of partisan vibe from him.

I’d love to believe this, but I was also sold that Biden would come out as stuttering fool who could barely string sentences together. That wasn’t the case.
He worked for Biden says it all.. It will be lopsided for Biden!!! They will only cut Trumps mike!!!
How about two chess clocks? Once an opponent hits it the mic for the other fellow goes off and stays that way until he hits the clock again.

Such hubris can be your undoing at some point you will burn.

No, it certainly wasn’t was it? I and a lot of other FReepers were fooled into thinking that.
Thank God Trump was not fooled that way. For my part, I did realize at the last minute that Trump would not be debating a senile old fool. But essentially Chris Wallace.
And that’s exactly how things went down.
I never bought into Biden being a stuttering fool, not that way.
On the other hand, he was incapable of making his case as to why he should replace Trump in the White House.
How can this guy not be biased? Who on the Republican side agreed to let this joker work as moderator?
Why let someone who worked for Biden be the moderator?
Excuse Me... He worked for Kennedy and Biden and now he is supposed to be the “Fair” Moderator...? Give me a Break!
