The respective debate analysis is on a live presidential debate between Donald Trump and his Whitehouse challenger, Joe Biden, on BBC News on October 23, 2020. The main topic of this debate revolves around the clashes on COVID-19 lockdown policies, race relations, and the shutting down of the fossil fuel industry to tackle climatic changes. The debate also involved allegations of corruption by Donald Trump against Joe Biden.
According to Joe Biden, the lockdown should not be eased because of the eminent and dangerous consequences of the global pandemic, which can harm the social and political structure of the US. On the other hand, Donald Trump’s vision was not to prolong the lockdown. According to Trump, the lockdown should be lifted because it is damaging the American social system and economy. Trump is hopeful that the Covid-19 vaccine will help society tackle the virus. However, Biden warns the entire nation that the winter season will be very unsafe. Biden puts all the blame for deaths caused by the pandemic on Trump. They also discuss race relations. Biden blames him for being the most racist President of the United States. Biden also emphasizes the negative climatic changes caused by the lack of anti-pollution policies in Trump’s presidency. At the same time, Trump defends his stance by backlashing at Biden’s oil industry. They both give clashing views over energy policies. However, this debating session was more modest and professional than their previous debating sessions, which included offensive language. This debating session includes substantial personal attacks and opposing ideologies on COVID-19 by Biden and Trump. As this debate was the last live debating session before the presidential elections, it had a massive audience that was watching these two candidates throwing opposing views and verbal attacks on each other.
