GW Today Election 2024

President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump will face off in Atlanta Thursday for the first presidential debate of 2024. Experts at the George Washington University say a single debate is unlikely to singlehandedly change the course of the campaign—but a misstep on either candidate's part could confirm voters' negative views. Imani M. Cheers, Jesse J. Holland and Peter Loge of the School of Media and Public Affairs and Matt Dallek of the Graduate School of Political Management shared their expectations, hopes and predictions for the rematch.
