Description
With the field of Democrats running for president growing more crowded
each week, the Trump re-election effort has started to zero in on three
of them. But Joe Biden -- who's yet to decide whether he'll join the
field -- is thought to be the candidate the campaign is most worried
about in a general election contest.
Plus, the unfolding drama over the budget, the president's plan for a
wall on the border with Mexico, and a looming shutdown gives us plenty
of clues about what to expect in the era of divided government.

America’s presidential debate boss thinks Biden upended tradition… and duped Trump: On Wednesday morning, Frank Fahrenkopf received a letter from the Biden presidential campaign that ruined his day. Fahrenkopf is co-chair of the Commission on Presidential Debates, which has produced 33 debates since 1988, the first election year it was in business. He was planning on four more this year: three with Biden and Trump as well as the quadrennial vice presidential debate. But the Biden campaign told Fahrenkopf that the president would not be participating in any of them. Instead, the Biden campaign announced that it would negotiate with the Trump campaign and individual media organizations to plan two debates outside of the Commission’s process. By the end of the day Biden and Trump were set to debate in June on CNN and in September on ABC. On this episode of Deep Dive, Fahrenkopf joins host and Playbook co-author Ryan Lizza to discuss the fall-out from this decision, including the roles by Playbook Deep Dive
