Bidens team taking this debate was a mistake. Any platforming of Trump should be avoided.
Also? What the fuck is there to debate about? Everyone knows who Trump is. Everyone knows who Biden is. There is nothing to learn here.
Unforced error.

Trump is gonna pull out, citing some bullshit unrelated reason that doesn't actually prevent him from attending at all. Most likely using another member of his family as a crutch so it's not him, like citing some event Bannon happens to have the same day, at an unrelated time, with plenty of ability to do both, and he won't even attend whatever that was.
Other rules for the debate prevent him from doing his rambling interrupting diatribe routine. Like mics being shut off when it's not their turn. Trump can only interrupt and ramble, he is no longer even able to get a coherent sentence across at all anymore looking at all his recent events.
The stupid "independents" that remain, aka Republicans that can't admit how terrible Trump is but aren't in his cult, want to see an attempt at a debate, otherwise they'll hold it against Biden, regardless of how useless it is. And unfortunately because so few people in this country actually vote, they're enough to sway an election.
US debates only ever make sense if >4 parties attend. If its just the two parties then there isn't much to debate since they agree on almost everything (maybe they're a few degrees apart, but that's not a debate. Its just splitting hairs on live TV)
You obv didn't watch the last one.
Biden telling trump to shut up won him the election.
