reDemocratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has called for national action and the use of masks in the fight against the coronavirus. The masks could prevent another lockdown, Biden said Thursday night (local time) in a question time on ABC broadcaster with voters in Philadelphia. US President Donald Trump is a role model, Biden said. If the president doesn’t wear a mask or makes fun of the people who wear them, people would conclude that it doesn’t matter.
Trump was holding a poll question time with voters in Miami, Florida, hosted by NBC at the same time. He reiterated his false statement that according to the CDC, 85 percent of people who wear a mask will become infected with the virus. In fact, according to CDC research, 85 percent of a group of people infected with coronavirus said in July that they had worn a mask often or always in the previous 14 days. Trump defended his actions against the corona pandemic: “We are winners.”
Biden criticized President Donald Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic. It is “the responsibility of a president to lead,” Biden said. Trump “didn’t do that.” Trump has focused too much on the stock market and downplayed the spread of the coronavirus, which threatens both the health of American citizens and the economy. He would listen to the science himself, Biden said. He also accused Trump of not being more active in pursuing another stimulus package.
Trump did not provide any information on when he last tested negative for the corona virus before his Covid illness. “I don’t even remember it,” Trump said. It is constantly being tested. The question of the last negative test result is relevant because it says in the room if it is possible that Trump was still conducting events when he already knew he was infected.
Trump distanced himself from right-wing extremists, but at the same time he harshly attacked leftists and antifa. He had condemned right-wing extremists “for years,” Trump said when the presenter asked. Trump stressed that he also condemned Antifa and “these leftist people who are burning our cities.” Republican Trump slammed his Democratic challenger Joe Biden for not asking him if he condemned Antifa on NBC question time last week.
Trump was criticized after the first television debate with Biden in late September for refusing to clearly condemn right-wing extremists and right-wing armed groups. Critics have repeatedly accused Trump of failing to distinguish himself clearly enough from radical right-wing groups. After a counter-protester was killed in a neo-Nazi march in Charlottesville, Virginia in 2017, Trump caused outrage when he said there were “very good people” on both sides.
Trump claims to have debts that are more than offset by his wealth. “It’s a small percentage of my net worth,” Trump said. Trump appeared to be confirming the $ 421 million personal debt recently reported by the New York Times. At first he did not want to commit to the moderator’s request, but then he spoke of “400 million dollars” himself.
This debt is a small thing, Trump said. When asked if he was also on the chalk with foreign organizations, he said: “Not that I know of.” He did not owe any “dark people” money.
Trump again justified the non-publication of his tax returns with the fact that the tax authorities reviewed his books. He promised, as he had for years, that he would be “very happy” to release the tax returns as soon as this review was completed. Presidential candidates generally publish their tax returns during the election campaign. Republican Trump has long resisted attempts by Democrats to gain access.
On his own account, Biden doesn’t want to reverse all of President Donald Trump’s tax breaks. Referring to tax cuts for the richest one percent, Biden said, “I’m talking about not abolishing all tax cuts.” Tax increases for corporations and top earners would generate a large amount of money that could “make your life easier.”
Biden was not entirely opposed to expanding Supreme Court judicial posts. “He wasn’t a fan of field expansion,” and he wasn’t today, Biden said. But he’s open to considering it if Republicans move forward to fill a vacant judge seat before the Nov.3 election.
The Supreme Court of the United States has nine titular justices. Following the death of Liberal Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Republicans in the U.S. Senate are pushing for the confirmation of Conservative candidate Amy Coney Barrett. The president of the United States, Donald Trump, had proposed her as a successor.
Barrett is expected to be confirmed before the election, much to the chagrin of Democrats, who had demanded that the winner decide on the replacement. In the dispute over the occupation, some Democrats came up with the idea of reducing the Conservative majority by expanding the court by two or four seats. Biden had been asked several times about his position on this idea, but declined to comment.
Candidates should be interviewed in a joint television debate. Plans for the second duel before the November 3 election were mixed up after Trump was infected with the corona virus. Trump had declined to hold the debate online for security reasons. Biden then announced his own television event, Trump did the same.
The last television debate is scheduled for October 22 as a direct meeting before the elections. Trump has already spoken out against the regulatory changes in the concept of television duels, which the organizers had announced as a result of the chaos in the first debate.
