To capture the public's attention
Q: Which is a primary goal of debates?
A: To present potential candidates is your best choice
E: They have two debate sessions. One inside one certain party, and the second is between the parties. This helps voters know what each candidate stands for, their beliefs on certain problems, and the way they would solve it. This allows the voters to view the potential candidates, and lend their support as well as their votes to the one they believe follows more closely with their own personal beliefs.
hope this helps
