Former CNN host Brian Stelter has raised concerns about former President Donald Trump's potential behavior during the upcoming presidential debate with President Joe Biden. Stelter believes Trump may prioritize personal attacks over substance, potentially overshadowing policy discussions.
Stelter's apprehension stems from Trump's unpredictable nature in debates. He noted that Trump's focus on insults and personal issues during the debate could eclipse policy disagreements. These moments could become viral, potentially shaping public perception in unpredictable ways.

The debate, scheduled for June 27th in Atlanta, is highly anticipated as it marks an early showdown between the two political rivals. Stelter believes that Trump's unpredictable debate style sets him apart from Biden, who is generally considered a more predictable opponent.
"For Trump, it's anyone's guess," Stelter said. "He's claiming he's not going to be prepping the way Biden is, so it's anyone's guess."

Conversely, Stelter believes Biden's strategy will likely involve highlighting Trump's controversies and scandals, aiming to bring them to the attention of voters who may be unaware of these issues.
Stelter interviewed former debate moderators for Vanity Fair and noted that previous debates centered primarily on policy and substance questions. However, he believes that both candidates may assume voters have been disconnected from politics and are unaware of Trump's legal battles.
