The media workroom is prepared for the second 2016 U.S. presidential debate at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, October 7, 2016. REUTERS/Rick Wilking[/caption] Debate No. 2 will pit Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton against Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump for the second time this election cycle. The event Sunday at Washington University in St. Louis will be in a town hall format, with half of the questions coming from audience members and the other half from ABC’s Martha Raddatz and CNN’s Anderson Cooper. Clinton enters this event looking to continue the bump she received after her first debate and perhaps do a bit of cleanup after her vice presidential nominee, Tim Kaine, delivered a widely criticized performance at the VP debate. Clinton has largely been off the campaign trail this week while focusing on prep with close aides. She has defended her decision to concentrate on the event, saying “You know what else I prepared for?…I prepared to be president.” Trump will likely aim to improve on his performance in the first debate, which contributed to a dip in his poll numbers. It will also be the first time he faces questions about a Friday report with audio of him describing women in lewd terms in 2005. He since apologized for the remarks that received criticism from Republican officials, leaders and politicians. Trump kept up a heavy campaign schedule for much of the week, including a town hall event Thursday night in New Hampshire. The atypical event for him appeared to be a rehearsal for Sunday night, though he insisted he didn’t need “prep.” “I said forget debate prep. I mean, give me a break,” the businessman said Thursday. Trump aides said he’s constantly preparing.
