President Joe Biden and former President Donald J. Trump will stand alone on stage in a CNN studio, separated by six feet of distance and divergent ideologies. Although they are only six feet apart, their two advisers will be positioned in adjacent lounges, as will first lady Jill Biden, who is expected to be in attendance.

Who will be present in the green rooms of the two candidates?

During a well-attended event following a televised debate between the President Joe Biden and former President Donald J. Trump, both candidates are supported by teams of advisers and representatives in a dedicated discussion room. The event, marked by its high stakes and partisan divisions, will focus attention not only on the candidates’ performances but also on the strategic presence of their respective representatives.

Although they will be only eight feet apart, their two advisers will be positioned in adjacent green rooms, as will First Lady Jill Biden, who is expected to be in attendance.

Biden Spin Room Representatives:

– Marie Trumpdistant niece of Donald Trump

– Former Mayor of Atlanta Keisha Lance Bas

– Representative Jasmine Crockett from Texas

– Governor of California Gavin Newsom

– Representative Robert Garcia from California

– DNC Advisor Cedric Richmond

– Senator Raphael Warnock

After the debate, these people – selected by the Biden campaign – are expected to offer calculated analysis and messaging.

Representatives of Trump’s spin room:

– Details regarding Trump campaign representatives were not released at the time of publication.

While Biden’s aides have been vetted, Trump’s team has not revealed its intentions for the spin room. The lack of vetted Trump aides underscores the disparate strategies employed by both sides in managing messaging after the debate.

As the election cycle progresses, the debate, which will take place in a CNN studio with the candidates positioned eight feet apart, is expected to attract a lot of attention. Both candidates will follow the predetermined debate schedule throughout the evening, which includes two three-and-a-half minute commercial breaks during which neither will speak with representatives from their respective campaigns.

After spending the previous week at Camp David making arrangements, President Biden flew to Atlanta with administration and policy advisers. At the same time, former President Trump’s entourage had traveled from Florida for the occasion.
