There’s been a lot of buzz surrounding the upcoming debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump as Biden supposedly gears up for it at Camp David.

Biden’s known sensitivity to criticism and propensity for getting easily triggered have been on display numerous times, including instances where he lashed out at voters. Former opponents of Biden, like John M. Burris and M. Jane Brady, have shared insights into how to approach debating him, emphasizing his short temper and potential difficulties in providing coherent explanations.
Earlier this year, Biden yelled at an autoworker, told him “you’re full of sh*t,” and insisted “I don’t work for you.”

Burris, who lost to Biden in a Senate campaign, revealed that their strategy was centered on provoking Biden due to his short fuse. On the other hand, Brady, a former prosecutor and Delaware’s attorney general, noted Biden’s apparent decline compared to previous years, suggesting that letting him speak at length could lead to confusion and a lack of clarity on the issues.
With both political figures offering advice on debating Biden, such as letting him ramble and challenging him in ways that may unsettle him, it appears that Trump could have a strategic advantage in the upcoming debate. Biden’s vulnerabilities, including his temperamental nature and potential cognitive challenges, could play a significant role in shaping how the debate unfolds and could influence viewers’ perceptions of the candidates.
