The article is short, so worth the read, but here’s the TL;DR:

  1. Commercial Breaks
  2. No Opening Statements
  3. Muted microphones, no notes
  4. No Live Audience

    The lack of notes will probably hurt Biden mostly. Trump will go off on crazy tangents, which he does anyway and probably doesn’t read notes someone wrote for him ever, it doesn’t take more than 3 brain cells to spout off racist shit and get angry people angry. But Biden will say 3 words and forget where he is, that’s what they are probably counting on.
