A long line of debates leads Joe Biden to his biggest one yet
The debate stage has not always been kind to Joe Biden. It’s the place where his 1988 presidential run began to fall apart, after he quoted a British politician without attribution in his closing remarks, and where he often struggled to get noticed when he ran again in 2007, drowned out by some of his more charismatic rivals.
But once he was tapped as Barack Obama’s running mate in 2008, Biden delivered two clutch debate performances —against Alaska Governor Sarah Palin that fall and Representative Ryan four years later — that showed considerable skill and an undeniable versatility. It’s that version of Biden Democrats are hoping will show up on Tuesday night, when he faces off against President Trump in Cleveland for the first of three debates.
