Biden's early debate preparations focused on reading briefing books and holding smaller prep sessions with policy aides, people familiar with his preparations said. Ron Klain, Biden's former chief of staff who also managed ex-Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton's presidential debate work, is helping to oversee Biden's debate preparations ahead of Tuesday night, those sources said. Trump, according to a source familiar with his debate preparations, is studying expected attacks from Biden. Christie, who played Clinton in Trump's 2016 debate, is also helping with Trump's debate preparations, the source added. "If debates matter, Joe Biden wouldn't be the Democratic nominee," said Jen Psaki, a White House communications director in the Obama-Biden White House.
