In preparation for Thursday’s 90-minute primetime presidential debate, President Joe Biden is helming a podium for practice runs of “varying length” at Camp David, according to a source with direct knowledge of the matter.
The team’s rehearsals are part of “long working days,” with some of Biden’s senior staff staying in cabins overnight at Camp David and other local advisers commuting back and forth.
The goal of the agenda crafted by aides is to refine both the substance and stamina required of the event, the source said.
The mock debates began Monday, the third day Biden and a range of advisers huddled at the rural, mountainside retreat, where they break for three meals a day in a group-style setting.
