Before the latest televised debate on the US presidential election, incumbent Donald Trump’s campaign team harshly criticized organizers. Campaign adviser Jason Miller accused the Commission of Debate in a phone call with journalists of “persistent electoral influence” in favor of Trump’s challenger, Joe Biden.
The final debate before the election is traditionally about foreign policy, Miller said. In this Thursday night’s television game (local time) in Nashville, Tennessee, it is not the focus. “We believe it is at the request of the Biden campaign team.”
Miller said former Vice President Biden did not want to confront his earlier support for “endless wars” or his son Hunter Biden’s questionable overseas deals in the debate. “It is clear that the Biden camp does not want to talk about foreign policy.”
It was also heard that the rules of the debate should possibly be changed. After the first debate in late September, which turned into chaos mainly due to constant interruptions from Trump, the commission announced changes but did not release any details. Trump has refused to change the rules.
Republican Trump lashed out Monday during a campaign freeze in Phoenix, Arizona, against the host of Thursday’s debate, NBC journalist Kristen Welker. She is a “radical leftist democrat.” According to the Debate Commission, the six topics Welker selected include the coronavirus pandemic, climate change and national security.
The second debate, which was scheduled for October 15, was canceled after Trump fell ill with Covid-19. The organizers wanted to hold the debate online rather than bringing the candidates together in a single room. Trump later canceled his participation. Biden (77) and Trump (74) appeared on two different TV stations at the same time that night to ask voters questions.
