Wasn't this the earliest presidential debate ever? I mean technically they're not even their respective parties candidates yet- the Republican National convention is next week, and the Democratic National convention is in August.
My guess is that this debate was set up specifically to gauge Biden's fitness for the election this fall. If he did poorly, the Democrats were planning to kick in their contingency plan to replace him, which we're seeing now.
The turmoil this is causing in their party is awesome, but I have to wonder if it wouldn't have been better if Trump had refused to debate him until it was too late for them to swap candidates.
