Team News Riveting
In the polarized political scenario, building consensus seems to be the biggest challenge.
But it was demonstrated to be the tilt when President Trump and Joseph R. Biden Jr., the Democratic nominee stood for Tuesday’s highly anticipated presidential debate. The distance maintained to facilitate social distancing following a pandemic further created rift between the two.
Experts in the United States said the night’s 90-minute, commercial-free cross-talk show was something viewers avoided to review in detail upon waking up Wednesday morning. But as one political journalist suggested, Tuesday’s event very well might “go down as the worst debate of all time.”
During the first five minutes, the moderator, Chris Wallace, asked a question. Trump answered, and Biden responded after that.
And then Biden interrupted Trump during a discussion about the Supreme Court. It was the end of structure and civility. Subsequently, Trump would go on to interrupt Biden at nearly every opportunity while Biden would not let many of Trump’s misstatements go unchallenged.
Everyone talked over each other. Once the shouting began, it did not end.
On a few occasions, Biden told Trump to “shut up, man.” And experts expressed surprise when the former vice president told Trump directly, “You’re the worst president that America has ever had.”
