The US Presidential Debate Commission announced that will change the format of the two remaining debates between now and the November elections between President Donald Trump and Democratic hopeful Joe Biden, after the chaos of their first face to face on Tuesday night.
In a statement, the organization said on Wednesday that “last night’s debate has made it clear that it should add additional structure to the format of the remaining discussions to ensure a more orderly discussion of affairs “.
Tuesday’s debate in Cleveland, Ohio was characterized by constant interruptions by Trump to Biden, who in turn lost his papers at some point and insulted the president, which has created controversy over the format and criticism of the moderator, journalist Chris Wallace, which failed to get both of them to speak in detail on matters of concern to voters.
The Commission usually works in collaboration with the campaigns of the two candidates before the debates are held to agree on a set of rules to govern the dialogue, and it is not usual for the structure to be changed once the first one has been held.
Despite the controversy over the work of Wallace, a journalist for the conservative television channel Fox News, the organization thanked him for “the professionalism and skill that he brought to the debate last night” and advanced his intention to “guarantee additional tools to maintain order in the remaining debates.”
At the moment, the Commission has not provided details on what the format changes will be.
The next debate is scheduled for Wednesday, October 7, which this time will be between the vice president, Mike pence, and the Democratic candidate for that position, Kamala harris, who will be in Salt Lake City, the capital of Utah.
Trump and Biden are not expected to see each other again until October 15. in Miami, Florida, where it will be held in the second presidential debate; followed by a third meeting in Nashville, Tennessee on October 22; all before the general elections on November 3.
