US Presidential Debate: The debate will last approximately 90 minutes.
New Delhi:
Democratic challenger Joe Biden on Tuesday called President Donald Trump a liar and told him to “shut up” as the two clashed in a moody start to their first televised debate. “The point is, everything he says so far is just a lie. I’m not here to expose his lies. Everyone knows he’s a liar,” Biden said. The tension was palpable from the first few minutes, with the two pausing several times, which led to Biden going wild at one point: “Do you want to shut up, man!”
Here are live updates from the US Presidential Debate:
Defending his new selection to the Supreme Court Amy Coney Barrett, Donald Trump says: “She is good in every way. I think she will be exceptional.”
“He waited and waited and waited. He still has no plan. 7 million people have contracted the virus,” Biden explains of Trump’s handling of the crisis.
The first topic of discussion is health. The moderator asks Trump for his health care plan given he is opposed to Obamacare. “I lower the prices of drugs by 80 to 90 percent and I go with the preferred countries,” replied President Donald Trump.
Republican President Donald Trump and his Democratic rival Joe Biden did not shake hands or wear masks when they entered their first White House debate on Tuesday, adhering to protocols on social distancing during the coronavirus pandemic.
The two contestants entered the stage at the same time and smiled when Fox News moderator Chris Wallace explained that they would not be shaking hands. “How’s it going, man? Biden said, reaching out to Trump.
President Donald Trump and Democratic challenger Joe Biden took the stage on Tuesday for their first televised debate, watched by a deeply divided nation 35 days before the most tense US election in recent memory. There was no handshake when the two took to the stage and although this was due to the Covid-19 restrictions, the absence of the traditional salute symbolized the bitterness that ravaged the country during the count to final countdown until November 3.
