Watch Trump-Biden Debate Live Tonight

Daily Wire Hosts to Provide Post-Show Analysis on 'Backstage'

Tonight, the much-anticipated presidential debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump is set to captivate the nation. As these two political titans face off, Daily Wire hosts will be providing live reactions and in-depth analysis on “Backstage.” The special episode, featuring Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, Andrew Klavan, Michael Knowles, and co-founder Jeremy Boreing, will begin streaming at 8:30 p.m. EST.

  • The debate, hosted by CNN, kicks off at 9:00 p.m. EST and will last 90 minutes.

  • Moderators Jake Tapper and Dana Bash will control the discussion with strict stipulations to manage the environment.

  • No audience will be present, and microphones will be muted to prevent interruptions.

Critics argue that these stipulations aim to shield President Biden, who has faced criticism for his performance and leadership. In a controversial move, each candidate’s microphone will only be activated during their speaking turn, signaled by green lights on their podiums. This decision, some say, is designed to limit Trump’s dynamic debate style.

Michael Knowles remarked that Biden’s reluctance to debate in front of an audience stems from fear of public disapproval. Ben Shapiro advised Trump to stay focused on Biden’s presidential failures, labeling him as deceitful and tyrannical. Shapiro emphasized that a calm and meticulous approach is crucial for Trump, suggesting that if the debate centers on Biden’s presidency, Biden is likely to lose.

Earlier this week, Shapiro expressed concern on Fox News about the debate’s format disadvantaging Trump. “A lot of the factors are stacked against Trump,” he noted, urging Trump to perform at an unprecedented level.

Matt Walsh echoed this sentiment, pointing out Biden’s notorious verbal missteps and awkward moments. He highlighted that low expectations for Biden could inadvertently play to his advantage. “If Biden manages to hold his own, he automatically wins,” Walsh said, comparing the scenario to playing basketball against a disadvantaged opponent. Walsh advised Trump to be assertive and aim for a decisive victory to avoid a dull, inconsequential debate outcome.

Tonight’s debate promises to be a critical moment in the election cycle, with Trump needing to overcome the structured disadvantages and Biden striving to maintain composure under scrutiny. Join the Daily Wire team on “Backstage” for live analysis and insights into this pivotal event.
