In a few days, Donald Trump and Joe Biden will meet in the first television duel of the presidential election campaign. The democratic challenger has few illusions about the course of the discussion. Trump doesn’t even know how to discuss the facts.
The Democratic presidential candidate of the United States, Joe Biden, prepares for “personal attacks and lies” in his first televising duel with President Donald Trump. “It will be difficult,” admitted Biden on MSNBC. “My guess is that it will be a single direct attack.” The 77-year-old challenger compared his rival, who was three years his junior, to the Nazi Reich Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels.
Expect personal attacks in the televised matchup, Biden said. “That’s the only thing you can do,” he said of the US president. Trump has long denigrated the stuttering former Biden as “Sleepy Joe” and asked for a drug test prior to television duels, as he alleges that Biden is taking stimulants prior to debates.
“He doesn’t know how to argue the facts. He’s not that smart,” added Trump’s Biden. “He doesn’t know much about foreign policy, he doesn’t know much about domestic policy. He doesn’t know much about the details.” Therefore, “it will be mainly personal attacks and lies,” he expressed his expectations about Trump’s behavior.
The US president was “a bit like Goebbels,” Biden said. “You tell a lie long enough, you repeat it over and over, you repeat it, you repeat it, and it counts as common knowledge.”
Biden still wants to argue
The first television debate between Trump and Biden will take place Tuesday in Cleveland, Ohio. There will be two more television duels before the presidential elections on November 3. Television debates between presidential candidates are traditionally the highlight of the US election campaign and are eagerly awaited.
Some Biden supporters fear that the former vice president, who has so far led the way in national polls, may be outdone by the much more aggressive Trump in a direct exchange of blows. But Biden says he’s ready for it. “People know that the president is a liar,” the 77-year-old said in the television interview. So this will not cause surprises in the television match. Biden announced that despite the anticipated attacks, he would make his case as to why Trump had “failed” and why he had better answers for voters.
