John Dickerson looks at the historical precedents of presidential debates, and explains why a Biden-Trump debate is like no other.
The historian notes the felony conviction of a former American president by a jury of peers, proving all are equal under the law, would never have taken place in countries ruled by authoritarians.
Being found guilty of 34 felony counts would normally mark the end of someone's political prospects. But this week's conviction is not stopping Trump (who has built his career, and brand, on grievances) from running for another term in the White House.
