And i m going to actu

This is a moment we could not have predicted a few short weeks ago, and the stakes kong be higher for these candidates tonight. The abc presidential debate is moments away, we ll see it live from beginning to end here on fox. A showdown from vicepresident harris and president trump seemed unimaginable, just two months ago. President biden was at the top of the democratic ticket, his stunning debate performance, we saw it here, changed the trajectory of this race. And it has been a roller coaster ever since [ ] if we finally beat medicine car. I don t know what he said, i don t think he know what he said either. A campaign in the making, thrown into disarray. If the lord almighty said joe get out of the race, i d get out of the race, but the lord almighty is not coming down. As the calls to step down, biden persisted. I m det
