text:  Joe Biden saw in his internal tracking polls that he was falling behind Donald Trump. And understand the hubris and the pride of Joe Biden. They say, how on earth could we be losing to Trump? Oh, it's because people haven't seen the contrast. They haven't seen the choice. They haven't seen me and Trump on the debate stage. And we need to get Trump back into that environment. We can kind of poke him. We can provoke him. And we can narrow up this race. That was the calculus of the Biden campaign. That they've done all these things. That they've done the infrastructure.
