The group that manages the US presidential election debates pointed out this Wednesday, September 30, that it will change the rules of the debates between President Donald Trump and Joe Biden, after widespread criticism, according to “Reuters”.
“Last night’s debate made it clear that an additional structure should be added to the format of the remaining debates to ensure a more orderly discussion of the issues,” said the Presidential Debate Committee in a statement, adding that it is “carefully considering the changes that will go adopt and will announce these measures shortly. “
The first face-to-face meeting between 90-minute White House candidates on Tuesday night was considered by many to be “chaotic” and was marked by the Republican President’s constant interjections and interruptions to his Democratic rival and moderator , as well as Biden’s furious replicas.
Joe Biden, during his campaign in Ohio this Wednesday, said he hoped the organizers of future debates could turn off the microphone of the candidate who is not speaking. “It was a national constraint,” said Democratic candidate Biden on Trump’s debate and performance. “I am not going to speculate on what will happen in the second or third debate,” he added.
In turn, Donald Trump did what is already a habit: he blamed Fox News journalist Chros Wallace, who was moderating the conversation.
“Chris had a rough night. Two against one was not surprising, but fun. Many important points made, such as throwing Bernie at the wolves! The Radical Left is getting rid of sleeping Joe. Democratic Zero Democratic enthusiasm, Weak leadership, ”wrote Donald Trump.

On changing the rules Donald Trump stressed on Twitter that they should “try to get another journalist and a Democratic candidate who is smart.”

The Presidential Debate Debate Committee defended Wallace, thanking him “for the professionalism and skill he brought to last night’s debate” and promising “additional tools to maintain order”.
The next debates are those of the vice presidents, followed by two more presidential debates between Trump and Biden in late October.
