Jakarta –
The first debate between the current president of the United States, Donald Trump, and his rival, Joe Biden, was heated. Biden, the Democratic presidential candidate called Trump a liar and told him to “shut up.”
The comments were made by Biden as the two presidential candidates argued at an ugly start to their first television debate.
“The fact is, everything he said so far is just lies. I am not here to reveal his lies. Everyone knows he is a liar,” Biden said as reported by the news agency. AFP, Wednesday (9/30/2020).
The tension was evident from the first few minutes, with the two presidential candidates repeatedly interrupting each other, prompting Biden to growl, “You can shut up, man!”
The tensions have been evident since the first topic of this debate, namely that of the Supreme Court, was discussed. In particular, about Trump’s nominee for Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett. Trump and Biden also insisted on choosing the Supreme Court justice.
“We won the election and that’s why we have the right to vote,” Trump said, defending his controversial decision to go ahead with the candidacy of Amy Coney Barrett.
Biden reiterated his belief that the winner of the election should choose the next judge. “We have to wait and see what the outcome of this election will be,” he said.
Biden called the supreme justice’s election a battle for the future of healthcare, citing a case that will go to court a week after the election, and also mentioned the right to abortion.
The discussions escalated when Trump tried to dismiss Biden’s arguments and repeatedly said he was mandated to serve as Chief Justice.
