“Hope you’ve made watch plans or set your DVR for the debate tomorrow night! This year, ratings are expected to rival the Super Bowl and your Member will want to be part of the national conversation. We know — as do you — how important these debates are to 1) highlight President Trump’s record, 2) expose Biden’s radical agenda, and 3) talk directly to voters. The debates are where we make the case for 4 more years without the filter and interference of the mainstream media. Ahead of the debate, I want to flag something… Yes, Biden’s alertness may be suspect but DO NOT underestimate his abilities in a debate. This may be where he shines”
