In 2016, Trump refused to engage in a mock debate prior to the first televised debate with Clinton, the Democrat candidate in that election. He refused to allow anyone to play Clinton, and he would not allow his campaign team to simulate the question-and-answer routine that he would be facing. Trump reportedly later felt that he failed in the first debate because he skipped preparations and is now seeking to avoid making the same mistake.
White House officials and outside advisers are reportedly investigating words and phrases that will cause Biden to “reboot” during the debate.
