Presidential debates usually happen in September or october,, but for no special reason, to decided to do a debate 3 months early.. For me it really seems like a show. It seems like the writers of the show wanted Biden to leave the presidential race but also wanted to give Kamala a full presidential campaign also.
Did nobody else find it unusual they had their debate in June and just debate ler to Biden exiting the race?
I believe you're over the target on this. Needed just enough time on the clock to force predetermined moves and counter moves.
That was the earliest debate in history... for a reason. If you know, you know.
