President Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden will meet Tuesday for their first debate in a longtime presidential battleground state that has again been looking competitive after trending toward Republicans in recent years.

Some Democrats feared the state was slipping away from them after Mr. Trump easily won there in 2016 and Republicans prevailed in most statewide races in the 2018 midterms.
