 The Trump team as well as Republican lawmakers here on the Hill are also now hinting, without evidence, that President Biden will need some kind of performance enhancer for the debate, with Speaker Johnson saying even a gallon of energy drinks won't help him.

Democrats, meanwhile, are stressing the issue of abortion rights, which they expect President Biden to emphasize tonight. They just held a news conference here on the steps of the Capitol.
