World News – United States – Live Town Hall Tracker: Trump and Biden Analysis

President Trump and former Vice President Joseph R Biden Jr appear in concurrent town hall-style events on NBC and ABC, after Mr. Trump dismissed the previously scheduled debate Follow our analysis of the two shows here, or click here for the highlights

I’m also chatting with a group of Western Pennsylvania Democrats and one woman just commented on how much she loves Biden’s « So refreshing » style, she says

A voter asked Biden what he would do if he lost: « How are you going to push President Trump and those behind him towards the ideals of a more perfect union? » Biden looks momentarily taken aback He responds with some emotion: « It’s hard Things didn’t allow him to learn from what happened before »

I feel like candidates usually don’t want to accept the premise that they might lose, but maybe that’s one of the things voters, like the woman Jenny is talking to, appreciate about Biden – that he didn’t say something like, well, I’m not going to lose

More information from Biden on what he would do if he loses: « I hope to come back to the University of Pennsylvania … and focus on the same issues of what constitutes decency and honor in this country « 

The number of daily cases over the past week has risen 23% from the average two weeks earlier

I agree, Pati Si Biden is trying to offer a stark contrast to Trump, he does it well tonight It’s especially striking after looking at Trump’s town hall and going through this

At this point, I just got an interesting email from a reader: « People are thirsty to hear policy talks This is what they expect from their government You are way too wrapped up in the circus that is Trump This is not where the others are « 

Biden asked about Trump virus testing in other town hall « It’s just decency, » Biden says of coronavirus test before town hall

For my part, I didn’t enjoy this evening It was too hard to switch between the two and I think it was a disservice to the voters Call me a traditionalist but I want the debates to come back !

There was a little news: Biden on the packaging of the Trump court on taxes and white supremacists

As ABC talkers eat away at town hall, the camera shows Biden continuing to speak with voters in the hall, speaking to them from the one-on-one stage

Lisa, there is no doubt that this setup has not been helpful for voters, especially for the very few voters who might be swayed at this point But Biden has gone much further on politics than in any another prime-time night I can think of in the countryside so far

It’s an interesting image on ABC There hasn’t been a chord line in this presidential race for many months, which is normally where Biden tends to shine.

Jenny, it can’t be more than a dozen Looks like the lights went on in a movie theater where they’re showing a class Z thriller to a scattered crowd
