In the upcoming 2020 presidential election, U.S. citizens face a hugely important choice with major implications for the country's future: whether to keep President Donald Trump in office or elect former Vice President Joe Biden to replace him.

Guest: Michael Kirk, director and producer of FRONTLINE's "The Choice 2020: Trump vs. Biden"
