World News – UA – Trump and Biden debate again

After a chaotic presidential debate last month, President Donald Trump and his Democratic rival Joe Biden are ready to take the stage to give it another go

Their first debate was punctuated by frequent interruptions, mostly from Trump, leaving the two to talk to each other and Biden eventually told the president to « shut up » « 

A second scheduled debate did not take place after the president was diagnosed with the coronavirus and refused to participate in a virtual format

Thursday’s debate, starting at 9 p.m. local time Thursday (12:00 p.m. AEDT Friday) from Nashville, Tennessee, marks the candidates’ second and final in-person meeting, with election day on November 3

After viewers of the last presidential debate lamented the moderator’s inability to mute candidates’ microphones, the Non-partisan Commission on Presidential Debates responded by announcing this week that each candidate’s microphone would be turned off while his opponent -Response in minutes to a first question on each subject of debate

After these initial responses, the microphones will remain on during the open discussion, presumably still leaving a lot of crosstalk during rebuttals

Since the last debate, Trump has been diagnosed and hospitalized with COVID-19 The Republican has put the virus and his own infection in positive terms, resumed holding large campaign rallies, and attacked the government’s leading expert on the matter of infectious diseases, Dr Anthony Fauci Biden, who described the Trump administration’s response as an abject failure, has taken a much more cautious approach.He regularly wears a mask, hosts small campaign events in person, and publishes the results of his COVID-19 test, which so far have been negative Seek them to focus on their personal choices as much as on their different political plans

For months the president has laid corruption charges against Biden and recently stepped up his attention to the unverified allegations about Biden’s son Hunter In the latest debate, the president didn’t shy away from raising Biden’s family, targeting the former vice president’s son for his drug addiction history and attacking Biden’s intelligence

Biden aides predict Trump will once again launch lightning personal attacks during debate Democrat should try to shift back to his basic argument that Trump is unfit for the job

After a summer of nationwide protests against racial injustice, Trump has repeatedly presented himself as a greater champion of black Americans than Biden while emphasizing the theme of the law and order But in the last debate, Trump gave a reluctant answer to whether he would condemn white supremacists, and he refused to categorically condemn a far-right fascist group, telling them instead to « step back and get ready »

Biden, who frequently acknowledges systemic racism, accused the president of encouraging a rise in white supremacy and armed militias and cites Trump’s comments that there were « good people » on both sides of the a 2017 white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va., as momentum for his presidential race

Look for the Democrat to continue to address these themes as Trump throws Biden responsible for helping send millions of black Americans to jail with a 1994 crime law while Biden was a senator

Seek Trump to continue to promote his ‘America First’ policy, which pulled the United States out of multilateral agreements that he said were not in the country’s best interest. He is also likely to highlight the construction of more than 320 km of its promised wall along the US-Mexico border and recently negotiated agreements normalizing relations between Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates and Israel

Immigration is not among the expected topics of discussion during the debate, but watch if Biden seeks to raise the issue following a report this week that court-appointed lawyers were unable to find parents of 545 separated children at the US-Mexico border at the start of the Trump administration Biden repeatedly criticized Trump’s immigration policies, something Trump highlighted in his 2016 campaign
