Good analysis. My next question is ... if there are no presidential debates, will there be a vice-presidential debate? The spin machine will have to go into over-drive to explain why Pence/Harris can’t take place either. To me, pulling out of the vp debates or holding them without the POTUS debates will be very hard and awkward to justify.
If watching Harri’s movements she’s going and doing what Biden should but isn’t. In fact many Demorats believe Harris would be President if Biden wins.
I’m not sure if there’s a drug powerful enough to jack Biden up to handle a debate.....but you can be sure it will be used if there is.
I expect Harris and Pence to debate but it will be lower keyed as people want to see and hear Trump and Biden.....should they determine he can’t debate they’ll ask to see if Harris can fill-in.
“if there are no presidential debates, will there be a vice-presidential debate?”
that’s a VERY good question!
