Virus, Russia and migrants

The final tour of the presidential debate was held in the USA

For candidates, he was the last opportunity 12 days before the elections to turn to tens of millions of Americans and to persuade the undefined voters to their side. Over 47 million Americans have already voted in these elections ahead of schedule. The debate of Trump and Biden in Nashville, Tennessee, passed much more calmly than the first meeting three weeks ago, leaving a painful impression.

This time the rules were stricter, and the debate is more substantial. The 6th topics were discussed for 15 minutes for each: from the fight against coronavirus to climatic changes. Each speaker was given 2 minutes for statements that the opponent simply could not interrupt now - his microphone was turned off.

Money from Moscow and interference in the elections

The theme of Hunter Biden, the son of a former vice president, who worked in the Ukrainian energy company Burisma, sounded loudly that evening. The other day, the conservative newspaper "New York Post" published the personal e-mail of the son of Biden, who was supposedly received from his personal laptop, given for repairs (and forgotten there?). By the way, Biden-Ml correspondence. It was commented on by Russian federal television channels much more persistent than leading American media, which was immediately called “censorship” in Russia.

The American special services publication "New York Post" interested. The main source of the newspaper is the former mayor of New York, and now the personal lawyer of Trump Rudy Juliani. Special services find out whether this “drain” (or a frank desk) is part of the Russian plan to interfere in the elections on the side of Trump. It was perhaps the hottest moment of the debate. Trump suggested that Biden, whom he called the “corrupt politician”, was not on the stands as a presidential candidate, but in another place. “Someday you will have to explain this,” Trump threatened.

Biden replied that he did not take a single penny from foreign states, and recalled that Trump was discovered a secret cash account in China. Biden said that Russia's attempts, “to some extent” by China and now Iran, intervene in the elections (on the eve of Russia and Iran wrote the local media, referring to intelligence data), he considers as a violation of American sovereignty and “everyone who does it will pay for it.”

Referring to the sources within the administration, the local media reported that Trump was disappointed that the director of the FBI is Christopher Ray and always loyal to him the prosecutor general William Barr, they did not open the investigation of Hunter Biden at the final distance of the presidential race.

According to Washington Post, if Trump is re -elected, the director of the FBI and even the Minister of Justice can wait for a resignation.

In the report of the two committees of the Senate, headed by the Republicans, Ron Johnson and Chuck Grassley, it states that Hunter Biden's activities are causing ethical issues, but there is no evidence that Biden Sr. was involved in corruption as vice president. There are no complaints about the opponent of Trump in the president in Congress. In addition, according to surveys, 60% of Americans believe that Joe Biden is an honest politician.

Stop distributing misinformation, Democrats require. If the statements in the letter of Tony Bobulinski, the former financial assistant Hunter Biden and his brother James Bayden about “10% (commission) for“ Big Man ”(“ I think you are a big man, ”Trump said to his opponent), Joe Bayden would really not be in the tribune, but behind bars. This is a misinformation, they say at Biden’s headquarters, and American intelligence intends to find out where the legs are growing, to call the “names, addresses and turnouts” of the organizers of the campaign.

“I did not receive money from Russia,” Trump said. The 45th president said that he was the toughest against Russia and, unlike Biden, sent weapons to Ukraine, and not humanitarian aid in the form of pillows. Trump accused the Obama administration of the surrender of Crimea.

Both candidates said that Russia wants their defeat. Trump referred to the Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe, and Biden said: "They (Russians) do not want (me), because they know that I know them, and they know me."

The main topics

On the eve of Debatov, Baiden continued to lead in national polls of popularity, ahead of the president on average by 9 points of the rating: 52% versus 43%. And, which is especially important when the outcome of the elections is decided by the college of electors from different states, Biden leads in most hesitating states: he is ahead of Trump in Michigan at 9 points, at 8 - in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, at 6 - in Arizona, in 2 - in Florida. Such states here are called “purple” (as you know, red is the color of the American Republicans, and the blue - democrats).

For Trump, Debata really became the “last battle”. The president found a successful reception: when his rival began to talk about his presidential plans, Trump immediately asked the question of what prevented him from doing this in the recent past, for those 8 years when Biden was vice president? The candidate of the Democrats involuntarily fell into the position of the justifying. When Trump said that he was “not at war, but in good relations” with the leader of the DPRK Kim Jong -un, Biden was harsh: “This is the same as saying, we are in good relations with Hitler.”

Elections-2020 most of the local observers are called a “referendum about Trump's trust”, emphasizing that an alternative figure is not so important. First of all, the Americans vote whether to leave Trump in the White House. The president, recently ill with coronavirus, appeared on the stage again without a mask. The first lady - Melania Trump, who also suffered the virus, was in a mask, like a couple of Bidenov. The vice president took off the mask only for the time of the debate.

Trump said he did not consider himself responsible for the coronavirus who came from China. The peak was passed, the president said again, although on the day of the debate the number of new cases per day exceeded 70 thousand people, 1208 died, and the total number of deaths reached 223 thousand. Trump said that, according to forecasts, 2.2 million people could die from the virus, and if the country was led by Biden, there would be much more victims. Trump promised that the new vaccine (100 million doses) will appear in a few weeks, to which the presenter recalled the forecasts of medical officials: the vaccine will become available no earlier than 2021. “I don’t know, but I hope that earlier,” the president said to this.

Trump spoke of the “blue” states and cities that are poorly controlled by democrats (“closed the economy and schools”). Biden in the final word noted that there were no “red” or “blue” states, but there are the United States of America. He promised to become the president of all Americans and unite the country. Both approaches have their supporters. According to polls, most Americans trust Trump more in solving the economy problems.

Who won the final debate? Polls of different channels gave predictably different result.

The CNN survey: 53% of the audience gave the victory to Biden, 39% - Trump. FoxNews data: Trump won - 61% for it, 39% - Biden.

Both candidates made actual mistakes or distortion - journalists of different publications quickly checked the accuracy of opponents. But this happens almost always. Trump's plans were still not presented to them: the president spoke about his achievements and scolded the opponent, and Biden told what he plans to do-in the economy, social sphere, and climate protection. In particular, oil companies will cease to receive federal subsidies. Freking - Sleep oil production will not be prohibited, but will be limited on public lands. Americans who earn more than 400 thousand per year are waiting for increased taxes, funds will go to affordable education and medicine. 11 million illegal migrants will be able to become citizens.

The final debates passed much more restrained than the first meeting, absolutely everything noted this. At the end, the moderator - the host of the NBC television channel Kristen Welker thanked the rivals for fantastic debates.
