Too many debates end with regrets about the important questions that were never asked. Bloomberg Opinion columnists had suggestions on ones that should definitely make the cut when President Donald Trump and Democrat Joe Biden take the stage on Tuesday evening.

Would you consider an emergency use authorization for a Covid-19 vaccine that had not yet met FDA standards for approval? – Faye Flam
