Debates: Kamala Harris vs. Donald Trump
The 2020 United States Presidential Debates
The 2020 United States presidential debates were a series of four debates held between the Democratic nominee, former Vice President Joe Biden, and the Republican nominee, incumbent President Donald Trump. The debates were held on September 29, October 15, October 22, and October 23, 2020. The first debate was moderated by Chris Wallace of Fox News. The second debate was moderated by Steve Scully of C-SPAN. The third debate was moderated by Kristen Welker of NBC News. The fourth and final debate was moderated by Megyn Kelly of NBC News.
The First Debate
The first debate was held on September 29, 2020, at the Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. The debate was widely seen as a chaotic and unpresidential affair. Trump repeatedly interrupted Biden and made personal attacks on him. Biden, for his part, frequently lost his train of thought and made several gaffes. The debate was widely seen as a victory for Trump, who was able to dominate the discussion and set the terms of the debate.
The Second Debate
The second debate was held on October 15, 2020, at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts in Miami, Florida. The debate was moderated by Steve Scully of C-SPAN. The debate was more orderly than the first debate, but it was still marked by frequent interruptions and personal attacks. Trump continued to make personal attacks on Biden, calling him "sleepy" and "low-energy." Biden, for his part, was more aggressive than he had been in the first debate. He repeatedly accused Trump of being a liar and a cheat. The debate was widely seen as a draw, with both candidates landing some blows but neither candidate delivering a knockout punch.
The Third Debate
The third debate was held on October 22, 2020, at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee. The debate was moderated by Kristen Welker of NBC News. The debate was the most substantive of the three debates, with both candidates discussing their policy positions in detail. Biden was widely seen as having won the debate, delivering a strong and coherent performance. Trump, for his part, was more subdued than he had been in the previous debates, but he still made several false and misleading statements.
The Fourth and Final Debate
The fourth and final debate was held on October 23, 2020, at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee. The debate was moderated by Megyn Kelly of NBC News. The debate was largely uneventful, with both candidates avoiding any major gaffes or personal attacks. Biden was widely seen as having won the debate, but the debate is unlikely to have changed the minds of any voters. The election was held on November 3, 2020, and Biden was declared the winner on November 7, 2020.
