President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden engaged in more than 90 minutes of actual debate Thursday. It was civil, calm, sedate, substantive and, almost, even normal.
The lack of cross-talk allowed viewers to actually discern the differences between the two candidates, on the pandemic, on climate change, on systemic racism, on charting an economic recovery, on federal spending and on health care. Trump claimed that models had predicted up to 2.2 million deaths , noting that it is in fact a “worldwide pandemic,” and arguing, accurately, that mortality rates have gone down.
For much of the race, his retort to Trump’s wild accusations of being a left-wing extremist has amounted to a “who-me?” shrug. “Do I look like a radical socialist?” Biden asked in one August speech. “I am the party,” he declared at the first debate. “You keep talking about all these things you’re going to do,” Trump pressed. “Why didn’t you get it done?”Though Trump had also brought up Biden’s 47 years of public service in an attack at the first debate, Biden was uneven in his response Thursday. He even took the rare step of distancing himself from President Barack Obama over their inability to pass an immigration overhaul. “We made a mistake,” he said. “It took too long to get it right.
Trump debated at times as if the tens of millions of Americans tuning in were as intimately familiar with the internet outrages that burn bright across the right-wing media ecosystem as he is.
