For the last time before the November elections, current US President Donald Trump (74) and his challenger Joe Biden (77) exchanged swords on television. The duel was eagerly awaited: can Biden keep his favorite position? Will Trump remain as aggressive as in the first television debate?
In the end, as far as the conclusion was lengthy, the two opponents held a comparatively civilized round at Belmont University in Nashville on Monday night (local time) (VIEW reported). There are different views on who did the best in the audience.
CNN: Biden as the winner of the debate
A poll taken immediately after his broadcast on CNN found that 53 percent of viewers view Joe Biden as the winner of the debate. Only 39 percent are in favor of Trump. The news station itself also testified that the incumbent US president performed significantly better than three weeks ago. However, Donald Trump once again drew negative attention with false statements and bold comparisons.
“New York Times”: Trump tried not to know how Be triumph
The “New York Times” also saw a changed American president. Trump was decent. He got involved in a real political debate. What would be a positive conclusion for other candidates could turn into a boomerang for Trump, according to the newspaper. Since his first candidacy, Trump has always scored points for being different from the rest. “But now he played the normal politician for at least one night.” That might not have been well received by his followers.
«Le Figaro»: no candidate with an advantage
The last duel was also followed with emotion in Europe. While many portals see Biden with a slight advantage, “Le Figaro” from France, for example, could not identify a winner of the debate. The debate has shown once again: “The sides are extremely divided, and even now neither candidate could win the game.”
“Image”: Biden slip on oil statement
For the German “Bild,” one of Joe Biden’s mistakes was particularly notable: By saying that he would no longer depend on fossil fuels as president, Biden had gotten himself in trouble. Even the moderator of the debate was surprised by this point of view. And Trump received a pass through the election campaign in the states that depend on the oil industry.
Secret Winner: The Moderator
But almost everyone agreed on a clear winner: 44-year-old host Kristen Welker shone particularly well in the television debate. According to reactions on the internet, he conducted the discussion calmly, in a relaxed and calm manner.
There was even praise from Donald Trump himself during the broadcast. Just a few days earlier, the journalist had described it as “terrible and unfair.” Now Trump said softly: “Respect how you are leading the debate here.”
