Tuesday's presidential debate between President Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden comes during a number of national crises, including historic wildfires on the West Coast and months of protests following the deaths of George Floyd and other Black Americans at the hands of police. And, of course, there is the ongoing coronavirus pandemic that has killed some 200,000 Americans and cost millions more their jobs. Biden, who has been leading Trump in the polls for months despite limited campaigning, hopes to convince Americans on Tuesday that the country needs a new president before it can recover from this year's calamities.
