The stage awaits the first presidential debate between U.S. President Donald Trump and Democratic U.S. presidential nominee and former Vice President Joe Biden on the campus of the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland on Sept. 28, 2020.There has rarely been a more dramatic historical backdrop for a U.S. presidential debate: the COVID-19 pandemic, a country economically battered and a reckoning over institutional racism.
The 90-minute debate starts at 9 p.m. ET on Tuesday at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. Here are six things to watch.Fox News anchor Chris Wallace, who will moderate the debate, has announced a list of topics: the candidates' respective records, the Supreme Court, the pandemic, the economy, the integrity of the election and “race and violence in our cities.”
“Wallace has the power to set public expectations on how the subjects will be debated by the way he tees them up. And, with regard to the issue of police brutality and public reaction to it, he has done so in a one-sided, intellectually lazy and racist manner,” journalist Steven Holmes wrote in an op-ed for CNN, which was not invited to hold a debate this year.Mr.
But Tammy Vigil, an expert in political communications at Boston University, says Mr. Biden must do more than simply define himself as not being Mr. Trump. “We have a moderator here who is very good, and is going to try to pin down both candidates very hard,” said David Lublin, chair of the department of government at American University in Washington.The New York Times revealed Sunday that Mr. Trump paid just US$750 in taxes in 2016 and 2017, and paid no taxes at all in 10 of the previous 15 years. He did this by claiming catastrophic losses across his business empire.
“The significance is likely rather small, given that we’ve had major events happen and they’ve had remarkably little impact – we’ve had this pandemic that has killed 200,000 Americans,” Prof. Lublin said.
The Permanent Bureaucracy is a desperate caste of upper crust administrators and corporate managers appalled at the audacity of American voters in electing Donald Trump,a President who speaks for those otherwise disenfranchised by the autocratic monoculture Joe Biden represents.
