Interestingly, Chris Wallace asked Biden if he would make a phone call to political leaders in the aforementioned cities, asking them to put an end to the violence. Biden refused to do so, arguing he isn’t in public office anymore.
Hunter Biden and his ties to China and Russia
At multiple points throughout the debate, Trump attempted to raise allegations that Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, accumulated millions of dollars while Biden was Vice President in the Obama administration.
“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.
