Ninety tense minutes marked by hesitations from Joe Biden and mockery from Donald Trump. That is how one could sum up the first televised electoral debate before the US elections on 5 November.
This first presidential debate between former president and current president has concluded, according to the first survey conducted by CNN, with Trump’s victory, with 67% support, compared to 33% for Biden. However, the same television network has also detected that the winner has lied on several, rather numerous, occasions.
According to CNN, Trump lied More than 30 times. The former president continues to question the legitimacy of the last elections. Furthermore, in these lies that he has made live, he even goes so far as to say that in the United States you can have an abortion after childbirth“This means that they can take the life of the baby in the ninth month of pregnancy and even after birth.”
Trump’s 30 lies
Some of the issues Trump has lied about have been immigration, China, Iran, the assault on the Capitol, NATO or terrorism issues.
Democrats panic after debate
A hesitant, throat-clearing Joe Biden made CNN commentators raise the question that has been haunting many voters and politicians for months. Should Biden step aside? At this stage of the fight, that would open an unknown scenario and there are many issues to resolve.
Experts say that the Democrats have entered into panic modemost have done so in private, while watching a debate in which their leader was unable to respond to Trump, who was throwing lie after lie without his rival being able to stop him. There is talk of disaster…Andrew Yang, who ran against Joe Biden in 2020, wrote on social media: “Guys, Democrats have to nominate someone else before it’s too late.” Although in front of the cameras, the message has been different, behind them the Democrats consider the need to convince Biden.
The curiosities of the debate
During the debate there were some curiosities. For example, more than 100 journalists from more than ten countries have been aware of this political duel, but they have not done so from the set: they were in an adjoining basketball stadium to the studios of the American network.
The rules were clear to avoid a rushed debate full of interruptions. Two minutes to speak and one to respondin this way, while one of the opponents spoke, the other’s microphone remained closed.
