CNN —The historic rematch between Joe Biden and Donald Trump is anything but a rerun, with their first presidential debate next week set to showcase a vastly different set of issues driving their bitter duel for the White House.
It feels like an upside-down lifetime ago since the pair last appeared together on a debate stage.
“That’s the thing you’re going to see coming out in this debate: What was the world like under Trump?” Waltz said on CNN.
Trump suggested Biden would be “pumped up” for the debate, before insinuating, without any evidence, that the president uses cocaine.
Yet this showdown is without parallel as the 45th and 46th presidents seek to define their rival in what is the earliest general election debate in memory.
