Pollak: Will Chris Wallace Pull a Megyn Kelly at the First Presidential Debate?

The expectations for the first debate are already uneven: all Biden needs to do is remain standing for two hours, and he will be declared the winner — just as Wallace declared Biden triumphant after he survived his 24.5-minute convention speech. The question is whether Wallace will try to be fair, and let the candidates speak directly to each other and the American people — or whether he will try to emulate Megyn Kelly, and do his part to damage a president he clearly cannot abide.
