“We effortlessly won the debate last night,” the Republican said in the garden of the White House today. Looking at Biden – who is running for Democrats on Nov. 3 – Trump said, “I think he was very weak. He looked weak, he was moaning.”

Trump said he also wants to hold the next two TV debates against Biden. If his challenger doesn’t want to compete, that’s his decision, he added.
Polls
Trump said he had seen “about six” polls that saw him as the winner of the debate. It was unclear which studies he was referring to.
In some Twitter polls – which are considered unreliable without scientific basis – Trump has led the way. In contrast, in lightning polls by broadcasters CBS and CNN, a majority found that Biden was more successful in the debate than Trump.

The debate was dominated by chaos and personal attacks. Trump, in particular, kept interrupting Biden and refused to let him finish. Biden described Trump’s actions on Wednesday as “an embarrassment to the country.”

Silence button
Because the debate between President Donald Trump and his challenger Joe Biden was so chaotic, there may be a silence button in the next debates between the two. That’s what the Presidential Debates Committee is considering American media.
After the debate, the committee concludes that there is a need for more order. With the possible silence button, the debate leader can turn off the microphones of Biden and Trump.

More debates
Last night’s TV debate in Cleveland, Ohio, was the first between Trump (74) and Biden (77). Two more debates are scheduled for October 15 in Miami, Florida and October 22 in Nashville, Tennessee.
Vice-President candidates Mike Pence (Republican) and Kamala Harris (Democrat) will meet in Salt Like City, Utah, on Oct. 7.
