." WE AIN'T DEAD however," Frank Fahrenkopf urged final month on "The Daily Show", an American TV programme. Jon Stewart, the bunch, appeared sceptical. Mr Fahrenkopf leads the Commission on Presidential Controversies (CPD), a non-partisan body whose single purpose is to arrange match-ups every four years. This year his team will definitely neglect all of them. In May, after signalling that he could certainly not engage in all, Joe Biden tested Donald Trump to question him-- on Mr Biden's terms. Mr Trump conceded. The presidential applicants will challenge two times. Unusually, headlines networks, instead of the CPD, are going to host the encounters. They will happen months earlier than they commonly will. The very first is actually set up for June 27th. How will these brand-new plans alter presidential debates?
