Donald Trump is facing "lowered expectations" in tonight's presidential debate , a political commentator has claimed.
Trump will be going head-to-head with US president Joe Biden in a live debate later tonight in the first of two televised debates.
Polls show an extremely tight race between the 81-year-old incumbent and the 78-year-old former US president.
The debate tonight could be a deciding factor for many Americans when they go to cast their vote.
Donald Trump's spokesperson accused the moderators of bias
REUTERSIt is not just the candidates that could be facing some criticism. On Monday, Trump's spokesperson Karoline Leavitt accused the CNN debate's moderators Jake Tapper and Dana Bash of being biased during an interview with CNN's Kasie Hunt before the host abruptly ended the conversation.

"I think that lowers expectations for Trump in this debate as well.
"He knows that he's up against America, he knows that he's up against three people, not just President Joe Biden, but the two moderators.
"Trump really doesn't have to do much to win here."
Trump, 78, who is running for the White House after being convicted in New York’s Stormy Daniels hush money case, continued to suggest Biden, 81, is not fit to serve as Commander-in-Chief due to his age.

PAYoung said: "Everyone around the world knows that Joe Biden can't hang for an hour and a half.
"They're going to fact-check him, they're going to debate him and they're going to cover for Joe Biden. It is completely live so there's no way they can edit it or manipulate it in some way.
"Again you're dealing with a network that has been completely adverse to Trump the entire time he's been on.
"It's not just Tapper and the other moderators who have hated on Trump, who have attacked Trump and made up things about Trump."
