Democratic White House candidate Joe Biden on Tuesday called his rival, President Donald Trump, a “clown” and even asked him to “shut up.”, during his first televised debate towards the November 3 elections.
The president constantly interrupted Biden and corrected him several times. Even the moderator Chris Wallace asked him to let his opponent speak, to which Trump rebuked the journalist: “It seems that I’m debating with you, not with him, but I’m not surprised.”
In one of the hottest moments of the debate, faced with constant interruptions from Trump, the Democratic candidate responded annoyed: “Well, you can’t say a word to this clown. “.
“You are the worst president America has ever had“Biden added, at another point in the debate.
“The fact is, everything he’s saying so far is just a lie. I’m not here to scream your lies. Everybody knows that he’s a liar“Biden said of the Republican president.
The interruptions of the US president continued to anger the Democratic candidate, who could not answer a question from the moderator.
“Are you going to increase the number of court members? “,” Are you going to increase the number of court members?Trump asked. “He doesn’t want to answer the question,” he insisted.
“I’m not going to answer that question,” Biden replied.
Already irritated by the interruptions, Biden snapped: “Are you going to shut up, man?But Trump continued his tactic aimed at destabilizing his opponent, who stuttered as a child and sometimes briefly stuttered when speaking.
The moderator, journalist Chris Wallace, tried to settle the discussion by ending that segment of the debate.
“This was a very productive segment, wasn’t it? ”Biden quipped. However, Trump interrupted again. “Keep barking, man,” added the Democratic candidate..
“People understand, Joe. You haven’t done anything in 47 years. They understand“Trump concluded
The debate was held in Ohio, one of the pendulum states that change their preference from one election to another and that Trump managed to win in 2016. Now, Biden leads the polls in this bastion with 49% of the preferences, compared to 45, 7% Trump.
The pandemic – which has left more than 204,762 dead in the country – marked the development of the debate, and in the auditorium the few present – except Trump and Biden and the moderator – wore masks and the chairs were placed to respect social distancing.
