Julian Zelizer : The last presidential debate sank Joe Biden’s political career and made Donald Trump the prohibitive favorite in the race.

But the upcoming debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and Trump could move the race, but it's unlikely to do so, Zelizer says.

Both candidates have significant flaws performing live, and it is likely those flaws will surface for both on Sept. 10 .

Keith Naughton : Donald Trump is propped up by big issues and the debate stage is the perfect venue.

He says the debate could be the last chance for both candidates to communicate unfiltered to the independent and undecided voters they need.

The most likely outcome will be both sides scoring points, a bit of Trump rage and a few Harris gaffes.
