Will SCOTUS Blow up the Presidential Debate?

It is hard to know why the Trump and Biden campaigns decided upon June 27 as the date of the initial presidential debate. There is speculation that Trump wished to refocus attention on his campaign and away from recent legal proceedings in New York, and that the Democrats wished to get a look at Biden’s debate performance in advance of their convention in August, possibly with an eye to replacing him on the ticket if he performed badly. Both are plausible explanations.
