Trump-Biden debate: Little new insight into policy goals

Biden and Trump are now at the lecterns. The two entered from different sides of the stage and did not shake hands.

ABC News Senior Congressional Correspondent Rachel Scott reported that Melania Trump will not be at the debate.

The former first lady has made few appearances on the campaign trail as her husband seeks another term.

Biden posted a photo on x taking a shot at Trump's allegations that he's taking performance-enhancing substances for the debate.

The president is seen holding a can of water with the "Dark Brandon" meme image claiming to be "Dark Brandon's secret sauce." The can, which will go on sale on the Biden campaign's site next month, has a statement in bold letters "Get real, Jack. It's just water."

"I don't know what they've got in these performance enhancers, but I'm feeling pretty jacked up. Try it yourselves, folks. See you in a bit," the X post said.

As President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump prepare to take the debate stage in Atlanta on Thursday night, voters across the key swing states of Wisconsin, Michigan, Georgia and Pennsylvania spoke with ABC News about how they're feeling during an election where they feel unhappy with both major candidates - and what they hope to hear on the debate stage.
