the televised debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden it was characterized mainly by insults and interruptions between the two candidates. According to the first polls, it was the former Obama vice president who came out better with 48% of those interviewed in his favor, compared to 41% who gave Trump the victory.
However, according to many observers, the 90-minute showdown that took place in Cleveland, Ohio, was too chaotic to be a clear winner.
Despite this, however, it becomes necessary to analyze the words spoken by the two contestants and, through a fact checking, understand who reported the most correct facts or, rather, who lied the least about the highlighted topics addressed.
Trump-Biden fact-checking debate: economic data
Occupying a leading role among the most important topics of comparison is the one that worries economic data. According to Trump, his administration has managed to configure thestrongest economy in US history before the Covid-19 pandemic
Although the Gross Domestic Product is growing, continuing the trend started during the Obama presidency, the the data is false since the American economic system performed better in previous periods.
Biden, by contrast, criticized the current White House tenant as the the manufacturing system was already in crisis before the coronavirus. In reality, in the first three years of Trump’s term, the sector has grown, with nearly half a million new jobs.
Emergency management and coronavirus vaccine
Another aspect that could be decisive in the November 3 elections is the one related to coronavirus, in which the two competitors clashed on several occasions during the debate.
Biden challenged the government’s handling of the virus, noting that the United States represents 4% of the world’s population, but that died from the virus they are 20% of the total worldwide.
A fairly correct statement, which is about 206 thousand dead in the United States compared to the headline of one million deaths that occurred internationally. In proportion, however, the United States occupies the ninth position if we consider the proportion of deaths per 100,000 citizens.
Trump, on the other hand, reiterated that there are a few weeks left before the introduction of the Vaccine for COVID-19. This is a very optimistic forecast with little chance of coming true, given that at this time the most optimistic outlook is to be able to distribute the drug to all Americans within April 2021.
The Dangers of Voter Fraud with Vote by Mail
Finally, Donald Trump again argued that the postal vote, which is expected to be used by a large number of voters to avoid the risk of contagion, will inevitably lead to gods electoral fraud.
The possibility of manipulating the result of the vote does not currently have any objective confirmation, although there have been some isolated cases. For the moment, however, the percentage of alteration is minimal and presents insignificant percentages.
