The moderator of the debate between Trump and Biden, in the field of presidential elections, confesses to having felt “desperate.”
Apparently, not even in dreams, Chris Wallace, the moderator of the first debate between the US presidential candidates – current President Donald Trump and Democrat Joe Biden – predicted that the event would derail the way it did, which would result in a disaster fueled by name calling, copious interruptions and the inability to align two ideas.

According to the US website “Politico”, the attitude could cost Trump votes in the state of Florida – one of the most important in the final accounts of the elections – since the black community lost that part of the president’s performance during the debate.
Yesterday, Trump claimed that he does not know who the Proud Boys are, despite mentioning and addressing them. But the president also believed that the “Spanish” flu (1918) entered the United States after World War II … v
