buildup. high stakes, mistake or break, you name it. but in this incredibly tight race between two presidents, each of whom casts the other as a danger to democracy, it does seem that the cnn presidential debate in four days might just live up to the hyperbole. let s face it, how many people in america haven t made up their minds between 81-year-old joe biden and 78-year-old donald trump, and which of these two men can exceed those all-important expectationses certified by the presses? if trump did some advanced spin by denigrating cnn s moderators. they thought i would say, no, i don t want to do it because cnn is so, you know, it s fake news. i ll be debating three people instead of one-half of a person. howard: sometimes debates can be decisive, in the first one in 1960, richard a anybodies son had a 5:00 shadow, and jack kennedy looked young and vigorous. sometimes a good zinger can turn the tide with a tense president carter against a relaxed ronald reagan. there you
before the first 2024 faceoff, and the candidates are taking very different approaches before the gloves come off. president biden is hunkered down in camp david preparing while former president donald trump is campaigning. and as trump is gaining momentum with donors, a new fox poll shows biden s building support with voters who say that immigration and the economy are still among their top deciding factors. so who s got the edge heading into next week? welcome, everyone, i m jack a key deangelis in for neil cavuto, this is cavuto live. we begin in the battleground state of pennsylvania where donald trump is holding a rally tonight. alexis mcadd a also is in philadelphia with the latest for us. hi, alexis. reporter: hey, jackie. as you said, two different approaches. we have president biden out in camp david really preparing for that debate as it grows closer here. in just a matter of days, or he ll be on that stage as former president donald trump is going to be at a te
[applause] i ve said it before and i ll say it again today, i ll work with anyone to solve these problems. the president s border policy is coming under more scrutiny this week after a suspect was arrested in the death of rachel moran. he entered the u.s. illegally february of last year. they released a statement. we extend our condolences and fundamentally people should be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. the biden administration has not mentioned if they plan to reach out to morin s family. the president will be prepping for the debate, on the grounds of the white house, they can say whatever they want regarding the border and their policies, american people may look at it in a different light. when it comes to the head to head match-up, the polling shows the president is two points ahead. is there any sense that they re worried about the issue when he has to face off with donald trump and go toe to toe and take accountability for what s happened h
