The debate is highly anticipated, with \u200daround 60% of U.S. adults expected to watch. There\u2062 are concerns about Biden&#8217;s mental and physical capabilities, given his past performance and the increased scrutiny during debates. \u200cThe debate rules from CNN require no props or notes, and there will be limited interaction with campaign staff during breaks. This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/oil-holds-steady-ahead-of-powells-congressional-testimony\/\" title=\"Oil remains stable ahead of Powell's congressional testimony.\">puts additional pressure<\/a> on Biden, as any\u200c major gaffe could be detrimental \u200dto his\u2064 campaign. There \u2063are also rumors and concerns about Biden potentially using \u2064pharmaceuticals to enhance his performance. The article concludes with a call to action from The\u2063 Western Journal, emphasizing the importance of the 2024 election and \u2062seeking\u200d support to continue their journalism efforts.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<header> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/commentary\/\">  Commentary <\/a>   <span> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/author\/jharris\/\">  <\/a> <\/p>\n<p> <span>   By <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/author\/jharris\/%20\"><span>Jared Harris<\/span><\/a> <\/span> <span>   June 27, 2024 at 10:00am <\/span> <\/span>  <\/header>\n<section>\n<p>The stakes are high as the first presidential debate of the 2024 elections is set to kick off Thursday night.<\/p>\n<p>Democratic President Joe Biden will be facing off against former President Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, at CNN\u2019s Atlanta studios.<\/p>\n<p>The candidates will be facing off against each other for the first time this election cycle in a 90-minute debate that promises to draw a majority of American viewers \u2014 literally, perhaps.<\/p>\n<p>According to a poll from <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/poll-biden-trump-debate-apnorc-cc9e16ef147507162e22c96ddb889ee8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research<\/a>, roughly 6 in 10 U.S. adults are planning on watching or reviewing the debate in some form.<\/p>\n<p>A majority of Democrats polled see the debate as critically important to the future of Biden\u2019s campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Considering Biden\u2019s troubling performance over recent years, an hour and a half spent squaring off against Trump on live television may not be the best way to bolster his chances of winning in November.<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s mental health will be on full display as he faces Trump alone, giving the sitting president an opportunity to dispel (or confirm) any doubts about his ability to shoulder the burden of the Oval Office.<\/p>\n<p>Far from his quick and clear rhetoric as a senator and vice president, Biden\u2019s decline became apparent in the run-up to 2020\u2019s general elections.<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s behavior was concerning enough at the time that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/even-ultra-lib-linda-sarsour-worried-biden-gaffes-says-actually-not-funny\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">even political liberals doubted<\/a> his fitness to lead from the White House.<\/p>\n<div id=\"firefly-poll-container\">\n<p>Will Biden suffer a gaffe during the debate?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Since his inauguration, the president has confused the names of people and places, as well as key facts relating to whatever he may be speaking about.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes he even derails the conversation completely unprompted to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/devastating-biden-gaffe-potus-asked-title-42-starts-babbling-something-totally-different\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">babble about an unrelated topic<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone paying attention to Biden\u2019s condition over the last four years knows his apparent mental troubles are just the tip of the iceberg. His physical condition, as evidenced by his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-biden-falls-multiple-times-going-stairs-air-force-one\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ongoing battle with stairs<\/a>, is also in question.<\/p>\n<p>Even with the help of shorter and simpler steps, the president <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-biden-suffers-back-back-close-calls-boarding-air-force-one-despite-using-short-stairs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">still struggles<\/a> to ascend into Air Force One.<\/p>\n<p>The general public\u2019s view of Biden is one thing \u2013 it\u2019s carefully crafted by select White House appearances, pre-chosen questions from reporters and a healthy dose of mainstream media cooperation.<\/p>\n<p>What Americans will see Thursday night is likely to be something else entirely.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2024\/06\/25\/politics\/how-to-watch-cnn-debate\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CNN\u2019s debate rules<\/a>, Biden will have to make it through the entire debate with no props or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cnn-announces-rules-for-first-presidential-debate-muted-mics-and-no-notes\/\" title=\"CNN sets rules for first presidential debate: muted microphones and no notes allowed\">pre-written notes<\/a> of any kind.

Candidates\u2019 microphones will be muted unless it is their turn to speak.<\/p>\n<p>The margin of error is razor-thin for Biden. With the nation watching, even a single mental lapse could cost him dearly.<\/p>\n<p>The stakes are clear even to the mainstream media. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/even-mainstream-media-pundit-admits-biden-senior-moment-debate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Earlier this month<\/a>, political analyst Elise Jordan appeared on MSNBC and warned Biden cannot risk a \u201csenior moment\u201d during the debate.<\/p>\n<p>There is also serious concern that Biden may be getting pharmaceutical assistance to offset his mental and physical decline while on stage.<\/p>\n<p>Representative Ronny Jackson even floated the possibility of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/biden-called-upon-take-drug-test-ahead-debate-american-people-deserve-know\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">drug testing Biden<\/a> before the debate.<\/p>\n<p>With only hours left to go until the debate, Biden\u2019s handlers are in an unenviable position as their ward is set to shuffle on stage and out of their reach in front of millions of Americans.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<div>\n<p><b><i>A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><i><span>\u201cWe don\u2019t even know if an election will be held in 2024.\u201d Those 12 words have been stuck in my head since I first read them. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span>Former Lt.
