"The mayor of Moscow's wife gave your son $3.5 million dollars. Why is that Joe?", Trump asked.  Biden flatly denied the allegations, saying repeatedly "it is not true." Trump kept up the pressure, this time questioning Biden on why his son made $183,000 per month while working for Ukrainian energy company Burisma when he had zero experience.

Although Biden continued to claim the allegations were disproven, a recent U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs report did indeed find some irregularities.

Tuesday's debate left an unclear winner, polls indicate

On the whole, Tuesday night's debate was contentious, marking a clear distinction between the two candidates. For Trump, the strategy was to be aggressive right out of the gate to keep Biden on his toes in the hope that he would make a mistake. Biden managed to hold his ground, not without a few missteps, however.

On multiple occasions Biden appeared to be frustrated with Trump's constant barrage of attacks, particularly when directed at the activities of his son Hunter Biden, leading to Biden calling Trump a "clown."

It is difficult to say whether the debate had a clear winner. A post-debate poll conducted by CBS indicates that 41% of respondents felt Trump won while 48% said Biden was the victor. A remaining 10% said it was a tie, which is similar to post-debate polling in 2016.

For the most part, it appears that most voters have already decided on their candidate with only a small percentage remaining undecided. The two candidates are set to debate again in Miami in October.
