US election debate takeaways: Trump gets personal, Biden hits on virus. Debates2020 9News
The opening topic of the debate was entirely predictable — Mr Trump has received variations of the same question in interviews and has rarely delivered a clear answer.
"Anyone who's responsible for that many deaths should not remain as president of the United States of America," he said. Out of the gate, this debate seemed different from the first outing, when Mr Trump's incessant interruptions and flouting of time limits derailed the 90-minute contest from the outset."We can't lock ourselves up in a basement like Joe does," Mr Trump said, reprising his spring and summer attacks on Mr Biden staying at his residence rather than campaigning in-person amid the pandemic.He mocked Mr Trump for once suggesting bleach helped kill coronavirus.
A larger question may be whether voters are moved at all, especially those undecided voters whom both candidates are trying to win over.More than 46 million Americans had cast ballots by the time the debate started.But Mr Trump still has a path to a second term, through battleground states, by winning a majority in the Electoral College.

Biden needs 'elixir of life' to get through next debate | Sky News AustraliaSky News contributor Cory Bernardi says the Democrats wheeled Barack Obama out to campaign while Joe Biden was “getting the elixir of life to get through the debate” and animate him for long enough. \n\nHis comment comes after former United States President Barack Obama slammed the Trump administration for its coronavirus response in a drive-in Biden campaign rally in Pennsylvania.\n\n“Barack Obama is one of the greatest phonies,” Mr Bernardi said. \n\n“His rhetoric there about ‘we wouldn’t tolerate it from a president’ comes from a president who put the IRS onto conservative organizations who were opposed to his rule, that corrupted - I use that term advisedly, - the FBI and turned it against its own citizens.\n\n“He knew about Hilary Clinton’s private server; he was communicating with her using an alias and yet he denied any of this. \n\n“This bloke is a phony, but that’s how desperate the Democrats are.”
