As First Presidential Debate Nears, Democrats Are Concerned About Biden

Posted by Mike LaChance on September 26, 2020 82 Comments

The first presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump is happening on Tuesday night. Democrats are playing it cool, but there is real concern about how Biden will perform.
