Biden’s “Deputy General”: “America has lost a trade war with China”

Debate through partition

United States Vice President Mike Pence, the Republican vice presidential nominee, and California Sen. Kamala Harris, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, are set for a face-to-face debate during the 2020 White House race. it is the only debate between them in the 2020 US presidential election.

The debate between the two vice presidential candidates is expected to take place in 90 minutes at 7 p.m. on October 7, or at 8 a.m. on October 8, Vietnam time. The venue for the debate took place at Kingsbury Hall at the University of Utah, Utah.

No more than 200 people were allowed to sit in the room where the debate between the two vice presidential candidates took place. With the exception of the two candidates and the coordinator, everyone in the room must wear masks.

All people directly viewing the vice president’s debates, including the press, must take the Covid-19 test before entering the room. The presidential debating committee said that anyone not wearing a mask would be “escorted.” The change was intended to remedy the shortcomings of the first two presidential arguments when members of President Trump’s family removed their masks.

To ensure the safety of the two presidential candidates, the debate room at the University of Utah will be equipped with glass. Mr. Pence and Ms. Harris will sit 4 meters apart on stage, twice the distance previously agreed by both sides.

The moderator of the debate between the two candidates this year is the journalist Susan Page of the newspaper USA Today. Ms. Page has interviewed 9 presidents and is a seasoned coordinator with 10 presidential campaigns.

During the first debate between presidential candidates Donald Trump and Joe Biden on September 29 at Cleverland, the coordinator struggled to lead the debate on time, as both candidates argued. harshly and repeatedly interrupted

However, observers believe that the debate between the two presidential candidates will not be as chaotic as the Trump-Biden debate. Although both Mr. Pence and Ms. Harris are tough politicians, they are always polite and calm, so the likelihood of interrupting is considered low.

Carefully prepared

The two vice presidential candidates spent Oct. 6 in Utah preparing for the debate.

Pete Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, helped Harris prepare for a debate with a Democratic rival, in part because Buttigieg understood Pence’s profile when Pence was governor of Indiana. .

Meanwhile, presidential candidate Joe Biden’s campaign said it was set for a scenario in which Pence would criticize Harris, based on the Republican comment that Harris may be leaning too far to the left.

The two vice presidential candidates are expected to debate many issues, but Covid-19 and how President Donald Trump’s administration has responded to the pandemic could be the main focus of the discussion. This issue became even more important when President Donald Trump announced last week that he contracted Covid-19 with the First Lady of the United States.

In the history of American elections, debates about vice presidents often do not attract as much public attention as debates between presidential candidates. However, this year, the “showdown” between the two presidential candidates may attract more viewers because it takes place in the context of the outbreak of the Covid-19 epidemic.

If President Trump does not recover in time after receiving the Covid-19 treatment to participate in the two remaining debates on October 15 and October 22, the first debate on September 29 could be the one. Final comment between the two presidential candidates. In this case, the debate between the two vice presidential candidates will play an important role and could influence voters.

All attention is on Pence, who often quietly backs President Trump’s support. While Trump remains in quarantine in the White House, Pence can be seen as the representative face of the Republican campaign right now, according to the latest poll from Reuters / IpsosDemocrat Joe Biden is 10 points ahead of Trump nationally.

Pence needs to show the public that he is ready to assume the presidency if the situation forces him to do so. In addition, Pence will also have to present arguments to defend the anti-Covid-19 policy of the administration of President Donald Trump in the last seven months, when the disease has caused more than 210,000 deaths in the United States.

A campaign aide said during the debate that Harris is expected to focus on the failures of President Donald Trump’s administration. However, Harris, a former attorney, is expected to avoid a direct assault on the president. Kamala Harris is the first African American and Asian woman to become a candidate for vice president of a political party in the United States.
