2020 Presidential Debate - Podiums I would just LMFAO if POTUS Trump wants to use Biden's podium to basically ensure that there is no funny business of a teleprompter in the Biden's podium. The 2016 Presidential Debate afterwards showed us that as many as 6 people went to Hellary's podium to retrieve something while no one bothered with Trump's podium. Plus Hellary's podium looked like there was a prompter light on that went off when the debate was over, not happening on Trump's podium.
