Given how unpopular these two graybeards are, the other 2024 variable is third parties. The commission’s polling threshold to participate in its debates next year is 15% in an average of national surveys to be determined later. Recent polls have Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at 18%. Would Mr. Biden or Mr. Trump agree to debate him? What if Joe Manchin joins a No Labels ticket and qualifies?
The unstable elements of 2024 pose a risk that the candidates might never meet on stage. But they also offer a chance to break the commission’s Beltway formula to try something new: How about a debate with no moderators, only a time clock until each contender’s microphone shuts off?
