This lack of exposure can put lesser-known candidates at a disadvantage and limit the choices available to voters.<\/p>\n<p>As \u2062the race for the presidency heats up, the importance of debates cannot be understated. They offer a unique opportunity \u2064for candidates to articulate their vision for the country, \u200cdefend their record, and challenge each \u200bother&#8217;s ideas. They also serve as a crucial platform for critical issues such as \u2062healthcare, climate change, and racial inequality to be addressed and \u200bdiscussed in a public forum.<\/p>\n<p>The power of\u200d a debate lies in its\u200d ability to \u200cinform and engage voters.
