The upcoming presidential debate in Atlanta marks the beginning of the general election season. Although the level of excitement may not be as high as expected, it has sparked a variety of reactions and preparations from the public.
Viewer Preparations
Laurie Lowe, a Democrat from Florida, and her friends have planned their approach to watching the debate. They are apprehensive about President Biden's performance, and as a means to lighten the mood, they have prepared Biden and Trump bingo cards. Lowe humorously noted that bingo might transform into a drinking game if the situation deteriorates.
Public Sentiment
Following a survey of over 600 responses, it has become evident that many individuals are experiencing a sense of distress in anticipation of the debate. While some remain optimistic about the president's performance, there is a prevalent concern regarding potential missteps by Biden. Additionally, there is a notable sentiment of despair among those opposed to seeing Trump on the debate stage once again. Furthermore, a considerable portion of the public is contemplating the possibility of disengaging from the entire event due to their disillusionment with both candidates.
