THE LATEST

I rewatched the 2020 debates. Here's what I learned.

By Hayes Brown

There's a bit of déjà vu in the air ahead of Thursday night's presidential debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. Given how much we've seen these two very familiar faces, it makes a certain amount of sense that this debate is being held so early in the year, coming even before the party conventions officially nominate them.

But since Trump skipped Biden's inauguration, the two haven't interacted publicly since the conclusion of their final debate in 2020. With that in mind it would seem that there would be some benefit to rewinding the clock to the previous election and seeing if there's anything to glean ahead of their upcoming meeting.

This is a preview of Hayes Brown's latest article. Read the full column here.

CNN is hosting the first debate of the 2024 presidential race tonight, but the event will be broadcast everywhere. Watch the debate on MSNBC with all of your favorite hosts and experts. Rachel Maddow and team kick off special coverage starting at 7 p.m. ET.
