Biden’s communications cut off and confrontation in the Gulf? Key moments of the first election debate in the United States

BarcelonaThe final stretch of the November 5 US election has already begun. The opening shot was captured on the CNN set, where the first televised face-to-face meeting between the candidates, Joe Biden and Donald Trump, took place on Thursday. The debate was marked by Biden’s constant interruptions and Trump’s repeated lies. These were the key moments.

Tension from the beginning

It is no secret that the relationship between Biden and Trump is not good. In fact, they organized it the same way at the beginning of the debate: when they were called onto the set, each one of them went straight to their podium. So there was no handshake between the candidates. Historically, there has always been a greeting between presidential candidates before a face-to-face meeting. That changed starting in 2016, when Trump entered politics. In that campaign, he was declared the winner of the election against Hillary Clinton and became the 65th President of the United States.

Biden siege

But if there was one thing that defined the debate, it was Biden’s frequent ramblings and disconnects. There were two key moments: when he was talking about Medicare — the health insurance program in the United States, championed by Obama — and when they were discussing immigration. Trump was able to capitalize on Biden’s missteps perfectly. Indeed, after the president got stuck on immigration, the Republican surprised him by looking into the camera and saying, “I don’t know what he said at the end of that sentence. I don’t think he knew what he said.” He said either.

Some moments when Biden stutters and hesitates

“You’re an idiot, a loser.”

The most tense moment of the night came when Biden accused Trump of calling the country’s veterans “fools” and “losers.” The president told Trump, “My son wasn’t a fool or a loser. You’re a fool, a loser.” The Republican insisted he never said that and that the press reports were false. Biden referred to his son Beau, who served in Iraq and died of brain cancer.

Biden: “My son was not a fool or a loser. You are a fool, you are a loser.”

A round of golf?

“He can’t even throw a ball 50 yards.” The age of candidates has long been a source of criticism among the public. That’s why Biden and Trump wanted to show voters that they are in top physical shape. They did so by proposing a head-to-head golf game. Trump questioned Biden’s club-handling skills, and the Democrat agreed to play as long as Trump carried his bag. Regardless, Trump said he had passed two cognitive tests in recent months and that he felt the same now as he did 25 years ago.

“Stop acting like a little child.”

Trump’s lies and abortion

One of the main points of this election will be the debate over abortion. While discussing this issue, Trump went so far as to claim that Biden and his party would “kill an eight-month-old baby.” [de gestació]“At nine months and even after birth.” This statement is completely false. Furthermore, he argued that he did not abolish the right to abortion but allowed states to decide how to administer it. This issue, this is a people’s vote. “Like Reagan, I believe in exceptions in cases of rape, incest, and when the mother’s life is in danger, but it should be possible to choose this,” Trump said.

Trump: “They’re going to kill an eight-month-old baby [de gestació]Nine months and even after giving birth.”

Stormy Daniels and Pending Cases

Trump waited too long to mention the illegal gun conviction of Hunter Biden, Joe Biden’s son. That angered the president, who defended himself by talking about Trump’s own issues, including the Stormy Daniels affair. Biden accused him of having sex with a porn star while his wife was pregnant. Trump again denied having sex with her.
