When you’re pondering Donald Trump and President Biden will get rowdy in tonight’s presidential debate … think about what it is gonna be like in some native bars the place they’re throwing watch events and slinging specialty drinks.
We talked to a number of bars round Washington, D.C. and Atlanta — the place the talk’s being held — and very similar to a giant sporting occasion, the talk might be proven on a number of screens … even taking precedence over precise sports activities.
A few of the bars have specials, like a $10 old school — seemingly a crack on the candidates’ superior ages. Different pubs have signature cocktails and dishes for the night– and, one D.C. pub’s taking it to the subsequent stage by organising a consuming sport for patrons.
We gotta say, Union Pub in D.C. may get fairly wild tonight, based mostly on the foundations of their sport. As an example, 2 sips each time a candidate says “inflation,” and each Gaza point out requires 1 sip and dropping an article of clothes!
Drunk and bare may very well be the operative phrases within the Beltway tonight!
The primary debate of the 2024 election season is capturing many Individuals’ consideration … with the nation cut up just about proper down the center within the latest polling knowledge.
FiveThirtyEight’s mixture polling knowledge at the moment has former President Trump main by an excellent slim margin — 41% to 40.9% with third-party candidate RFK Jr. at the moment holding simply over 9%.
RFK will not be a part of his fellow candidates onstage, although an interview he did with Dr. Phil will air proper earlier than the talk begins at 6 PM PT.
Tempo yourselves, debate watchers/drinkers, and as Justin Timberlake may say … Lyft or Uber!!!
