A U.S. presidential debate is a formal discussion where candidates running for the presidency present their views on various issues. These debates are typically held during election seasons and are broadcasted on television and online, allowing voters to compare the candidates' policies and personalities. Debates usually cover topics such as the economy, healthcare, and foreign policy. They provide an opportunity for candidates like Joe Biden and Donald Trump to engage directly with each other and answer questions from moderators or the audience, helping voters make informed decisions before the election.
