NASHVILLE, Tene – President Donald Trump and Democratic candidate Joe Biden fought over health care, the economy and the country’s reaction to the coronavirus pandemic in a final debate Thursday that lit up but far less scathing than their first appearance. in combination last month.
As the two men approached the end of an intense crusade that once again divided the country, they broke records in the 90-minute fight, or it was continually not an easy time to respond to the accusations of others while working on emotional battles over immigration abroad. racial tensions in the United States.
Trump entered the debate on the campus of Belmont University in Tennessee with more to participate and more at stake. It dropped through double digits in national polls and a single-digit decrease in virtually every single state on the country’s battlefield, the president. . . shaken by the coronavirus and its economic consequences, which were to be restored to the maximum in the run-up to the November 3 election.
“We’re learning to live with that,” Trump said of the virus at the start of the debate, and he said long-term vaccines and treatments could cope with the latest build-up of COVID-19 cases in many states across the country. “We can’t lock ourselves in a basement like Joe does. “
Biden, who began his debate by drawing attention to the number of Americans who died from the virus, some 220,000, responded by citing the president’s own words.
“He says we’re informed to live with that,” the former vice president said at one of the most moving exchanges of the night. “People will be informed to die with that. “
Unsurprisingly, Trump has been tough on the accusations against Biden’s son Hunter, and with a recent report on the alleged content of a PC hard drive that seeks to document his trade ties with Ukraine and China. Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s non-public lawyer, is part of a Russian disinformation campaign.
Biden noted Trump’s foreign real estate holdings, adding that a Chinese bank account recently discovered through the New York Times. Trump claimed, without providing evidence, that the account had been closed before the presidency.
A last-minute resolution to mute the microphones portions of the debate gave the impression of lowering the temperature, giving applicants two minutes to answer questions without interruption. In at least two cases, Trump gave the impression of having his microphone cut off while exceeding the two minutes assigned to him.
Trump and Biden fought hard over immigration and a recent report that the administration was unable to locate the parents of some 545 young people who were separated families on the U. S. -Mexico border in 2017 and 2018, which has become a much broader debate about immigration.
“Who built the cages, Joe? Trump has continually asked, arguing that it was the Obama administration that separated families seeking to cross the border.
It was Trump’s leadership that implemented the 2018 “zero tolerance” policy that separated young migrants from their parents on the southern border, and subsequently admitted that he had begun separating families as part of a pilot program in 2017.
Biden accused Trump of “defrauding” his parents.
Veteran pollster Frank Luntz said Trump had done “much better” than in the first debate, but if the debate had done enough to “fundamentally replace the electorate. “
The mute yetton created a more civilized environment, for the maximum component, but it did not lead to any kind of decisive moment for any of the candidates, analysts said. It’s probably a draw, they said, and that benefits leader Biden.
“Assuming this debate is perceived as narrow or no, it’s a victory for Biden because he came here at night with the most to lose and has shied away from making a disqualifying mistake,” said Aaron Kall, director of debate at the University of Washington. Michigan.
Kall added: “This is the last chance of the crusade in front of tens of millions of people to replace the electoral discourse and that did not happen. “
Lara Brown, principal of George Washington University Graduate School of Political Management, said Trump was “just talking to his bases again,” while Biden “appealed to those who would possibly still be on the line. Fencing. “

Welker asked applicants what they would say on the day of their inauguration to Americans who did not vote for them. Trump began by saying he sought to rebuild the country to what it was before the coronavirus wreaked havoc on the U. S. economy and killed more people. 220,000 Americans.
“We want to make sure the country succeeds before the plague hit,” he said before he headed for Biden.
“We’re on the path to success, but I’m cutting taxes, and he’s raising taxes for everyone and him to put new regulations on everything,” Trump said of Biden. “If he comes in, you’ll have a depression, like you’ve never seen before. Your 401K will go to hell and it will be a very sad day for this country. “

Biden said that if elected, he would give a positive inaugural attitude to Americans who voted for him on the basis of economic growth, anti-racism, and blank power progression plans.
“I’ll say I’m an American president. I make them all up, whether they vote for me or oppose me,” Biden said. “Let’s go to science about fiction. We’ll wait on fear. Let’s move on because the opportunities are huge. “

Biden reiterated his opposition to the hydraulic fracturing ban, anything Trump continues to accuse Biden of doing.
“I am ruling out banning hydraulic fracturing,” Biden said, adding that the fossil fuel industry will have to be able to “transition” as the country takes action on the environment.
Biden said he was looking to avoid new fracking permits
“Perdón. Il opposes hydraulic fracturing. He said so,” Trump. Biden said he opposed hydraulic fracturing on federally owned land.

Candidates have become private when Trump hit the house with one of his main arguments, namely that Biden had his chance during his many years in Washington and did not keep his promises.
“I ran away from you,” Trump said, “I ran from Barack Obama, I think you did a bad job. “
Biden has jokingly said he expects Trump to do so because he would help voters.
“Because what’s going on here, you know who I am. You know who he is. You know his character. You know my character,” Biden said, you know our reputation for honor and telling the truth. I can’t wait to have this race.
Trump tried to turn his back on the unproven accusation of his campaign that Biden accepted influence bills from foreign entities.
“Don’t tell me you’re a guiltless baby,” Trump said, “Joe, they call you a corrupt politician. “
When the debate focused on the Black Lives Matter movement, Biden criticized Trump for boasting that no president since Abraham Lincoln has helped blacks more than he has.
“Abraham Lincoln is one of the most racist presidents we’ve ever had in fashion history,” Biden said of Trump. “It spills oil on each and every racist shot. Each of them. “

Trump defended his resolve to withdraw from the Paris Agreement to set foreign carbon emission standards, which would “destroy our business” and charge the country “billions of dollars. “
“I won’t sacrifice tens of millions of jobs,” Trump said, adding that water and air have become cleaner in his administration.
But Biden rejected, the voluntary treaty would have solved an ever closer crisis that scientists say is already damaging the country in terms of larger wildfires and more severe hurricanes.
The former vice president said that the weather replaces an “existential risk to humanity. ” We have a legal responsibility to face it.
Its plan also calls for “net zero” carbon emissions until 2050, the deadline for the new agreement.
Biden said he disagreed with the Green New Deal presented by liberal Democrats in Congress this year, but it’s a plan that transforms the economy into a green environment that he says would provide “millions of well-paid jobs. “
But on his campaign website, the former vice president called the proposal “a framework to address the demanding weather situations we face. “

Faced with questions about his statements beyond white supremacy and other hate groups, Trump continually said in the debate that he was “the least racist user in this room. “
Trump and Biden fought for race in one of the most moving moments of the debate. Trump pointed to the 1994 crime deal that Biden helped obtain through Congress, a law Biden has declared a “mistake. “
Trump did not respond directly to a consultation about his appointments with the Black Lives Matters motion, but instead said his first impression of the motion to hear chants against police after police shootings by other unarmed people of color.
– John Fritze
Biden said he believed there was institutional racism in the United States and accused Trump of giving back to the country on equal terms.
“A black father, regardless of wealth or poverty, will have to teach his son not to wear a hoodie when crossing the street,” Biden said, and mentioned examples of how other people of color face racism in America.
“The fact is, there is institutional racism in America,” Biden said, adding that the United States had never “respected” the precept that “all men are created equal. “
“We have constantly changed the needle towards inclusion, exclusion,” Biden said. “This is the first president who said, “We have to put an end to this. “

The American Civil Liberties Union said in a court case that it could not locate the parents of 545 young people who were separated families on the U. S. -Mexico border in 2017 and 2018.
When asked how he planned to reunite those families, Trump said, “We work hard, but many of those children arrive without their parents. They go through the cartels and the coyotes,” he said.
Approximately two-thirds of the more than 1,000 parents separated from their children have been deported to Central America, according to the record.
The president then insisted that Obama’s leadership instituted the policy and that his leadership put it into effect, but Trump’s leadership put into effect the 2018 “zero tolerance” policy that separated young migrants from their parents on the southern border. that had in fact begun separating families as a component of a pilot program in 2017.
– Courtney Subramanian
Biden said one of the first steps he would take as president is a bill to give some 11 million undocumented immigrants brought through his parents or guardians at an early age a path to citizenship.
These children, known as “dreamers,” had a transient respite under the Obama administration but are now worried about being deported under Trump.
“They will be qualified without delay to stay in this country and follow the trail of citizenship” rather than “sending them to a country where they had never noticed before,” Biden said of his plan. “Many of them are citizens of the style. More than 20,000 of them are the first to respond who are concerned about others in this crisis. We owe them. “
When asked why Obama’s leadership did no more for them, Biden said it “took too long to get it right. “
But Trump replied that “he was 8 years old to say what he was going to do (and) he did nothing. “

Trump said he had failed to reach agreement on some other stimulus to counter the pandemic recession because house speaker Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat, would not reach an agreement before the election.
“Nancy Pelosi doesn’t need to approve anything because she’d love to win on a date called November 3,” Trump said. “We are ready, willing and to do something. “
Biden said House Democrats approved an spending plan over the summer. But Trump criticized him for reaping profits in states and towns that are poorly managed by Democrats.
“The bill passed by the House a ransom of crime, poorly controlled and high, Democrat – all drove through Democratic towns and states,” Trump said.
Biden, if elected, would serve as president of the democratic and republican regions.
“I’m going to be president of the United States, ” said Biden. ” I don’t see any red or blue state. What I see are Americans, America. “
– Bart Jansen
Trump and Biden disagreed on whether the federal government would introduce a minimum wage of $15.
Trump said this would bankrupt many corporations and that it would be a decision of each state.
Biden said it was “just wrong” that it would hurt companies.
“No one deserves to have a job, two jobs below poverty,” Biden said, adding that many frontline fitness care staff members earn less than $15 an hour. “They deserve a minimum wage of $15 and all of them in poverty. “
– Joey Garrison
Biden mocked Trump’s accusations that he would “destroy” Social Security and Medicare.
“When he talks about a public option,” Trump said of Biden’s health care plan, “he’s talking about destroying his fitness and destroying his social security. “
Biden replied: “This is the guy who tried to eliminate Medicare. Donald Trump’s concept giving me a conference on Social Security and Medicare?Come on, let’s go. “
– Joey Garrison
Biden tried to systematically label Trump’s former vice president “socialist” by noting that he had earned far-left contenders at number one Democrat to get the nomination.
“I think he thinks he opposes someone else, ” said Biden. “He opposes Joe Biden, I beat all those other people because I didn’t agree with them. “
The moment echoed a recent stopover in Wisconsin when Biden, when asked through a reporter about voters’ concerns, he also socialist, replied, “I beat the socialist,” in reference to Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

Trump has used this debate to criticize some other political opponent: Barack Obama, beating his management on issues such as physical care, North Korea, immigration policy, and even his reaction to swine flu.
“They left me a disaster,” Trump said in a discussion about North Korea’s nuclear threat.
Biden, who served in the Obama administration as vice president, said Trump had seized a disgustingly wealthy, nonviolent country, but had approached dictators like North Korea’s Kim Jong Un and undermined the country’s physical care.
“He’s a guy,” Biden said of Trump.
– David Jackson
In one of the first demonstrations of the new policy of the committee of debate on the deactivation of microphones, Trump gave the impression that he had cut the last words of his opening reaction by answering a query about fitness care.
Both applicants were limited to two minutes in their initial reaction to a question. Turns out Trump had beyond that era when he discussed his preference to end Obamacare.
At the beginning of the debate, Biden’s microphone was only turned on after the former vice president started speaking for a second.
The new policy, imposed after a very terrified first debate that occurred through interruptions on September 29, had an effect on the broader sense of the debate: although Trump’s crusade argued that the rule was unfair, applicants had more time to speak. uninterrupted his first answers.
– John Fritze
One of the most pressing issues facing Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination to the Supreme Court is a subsidized case through the Trump administration to repeal the Obama administration’s care bill.
When asked what he would do with the other 20 million people who get his fitness insurance through Obamacare if the court cancels the ACA, Trump said he would “propose an entirely new and charming fitness care plan. “Trump, who campaigned to revoke and update Obamacare, gave some key points about what a Republican plan would look like.
Instead, Trump boasted of getting rid of the individual mandate that required most Americans to buy fitness insurance or pay a fine. He promised others with pre-existing conditions, which are already indexed in Obamacare, but did not provide main points on how he would do so under a new Republican plan.

The debate became more contentious as the evening progressed, with one of the maximum exchanges heated midway through a discussion on North Korea.
Applicants discussed Trump’s relationship with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, whom he met.
“He legitimized North Korea, ” said Biden. ” He talked about his friend who’s a bully, a bully.
Trump replied that it is vital to have intelligent relationships with other leaders.
“We’re at war, ” he said.
Biden responded that the country had relations with Hitler before invading Europe.
In the next segment, on family circle issues, when Biden made one of his common references to his birthplace, Trump interrupted him.
“It doesn’t come from Scranton, ” said Trump. ” He lived there for a short time.
– Maureen Groppe
Biden said Trump legitimized North Korean leader Kim Jong Un even though the totalitarian nuclear force featured more complicated missiles that would succeed in the United States.
“He’s a bully, ” said Biden, We’ll make sure they can’t hurt us.
Biden said he would only meet Kim Jong Un if he accepted his nuclear arsenal.
“The Korean peninsula will be a nuclear-weapon-free zone,” Biden said.
But Trump said he had taken a step forward in troubled relations, said relations are smart and that countries are at war.
“They left me a disaster,” Trump said of the Obama administration that included Biden as vice president. “He didn’t like Obama. “
Biden laughed.
“We had an appointment with Hitler before he invited the rest of Europe,” Biden said.
– Bart Jansen
Biden said he planned to pass Obamacare with an audience – and call him “Bidencare” – when asked what he would do if the Supreme Court annulled the Affordable Care Act.
The former vice president said his plan would allow patients to negotiate drug costs with insurance companies through the Medicare program.
“We’ll make sure we’re on a stage where we’re going to shield pre-existing conditions,” he added, accusing the president of not having drawn up a plan on this front line despite a promising plan. developed a plan. “

Biden said he would financially take strong action against China and the industry deficit that has soared since Trump imposed price lists on foreign powers.
“They have to abide by the rules,” Biden said, discussing tactics in which China has tried to establish unrecognized borders or its efforts to borrow America’s intellectual assets. “
The former vice president then criticized Trump for rubbing shoulders on China, Russia and North Korea.
“And he’s hitting all our friends, all our allies with his finger. We only make up 25% of the world economy. We have to have the rest of our friends with us to tell China, “These are the rules. You play with them or you’re going to pay what it’s worth for not playing with them, financially, ” said Biden. “That’s how I’m going to make it work. And that’s what we did by enforcing the value lists in metal and a lot of other things (under Obama). “

Trump acknowledges that he has (or had) a bank account in China; Biden presses him to ‘show us’ his taxes
Trump stated that he had a Chinese bank account and insisted that he was looking to publish his tax returns, but also said he would continue to deny them to the public.
Pressed for the issue, the president said he had closed his account in China, but that he provided evidence, which would appear to be on tax returns that he refuses to publish because they remain under control.
An audit requires Trump to maintain the privacy of his tax returns.
Biden told Trump there is an undeniable solution: simply publish the documents.
“Show us, show us,” Biden told Trump, “Stop playing. “

Biden said he “didn’t take a penny” from any foreign country after Trump raised accusations the former vice president had won in an industry ploy involving China with his son Hunter Biden.
“I think he wants to explain things and communicate with the American people,” Trump said, raising the accusations raised in a New York Post article last week that revealed alleged emails from Hunter Biden and his former associates.
“I haven’t received a penny from any foreign source at any point in my life,” Biden replied. He then referred to recent reports that Trump had a secret bank account in China. “Are you talking about me taking cash from China?” I didn’t take a dime from any country. Already, already, already. “
Biden noted that Trump did not release his tax returns after he promised to do so for years and said, “What are you hiding?”
“Nothing unethical,” Biden said of Hunter Biden’s role on the board of the burisma power company. “My son didn’t make any money in China. The only guy who made money from China like that,” he said, directing his comments to Triumph.

Candidates were told to interrupt, but no one said to simply react physically.
And Biden had many facial expressions when Trump asked about his criticism of Dr. Anthony Fauci, the government’s leading expert on infectious diseases.
“This guy’s a mess,” Trump on Monday about the Fauci. On Thursday, Trump had no problem.
“I get along very well with Anthony, ” said Trump, as Biden smiled.
Trump then indicated that Fauci was a supporter.
“I think he’s a Democrat, but that’s fine,” Trump said of Fauci, while Biden denied with his head.
Trump had his turn when Biden asked if there was anything unethical about his son’s paintings for a Ukrainian power company.
“The guy who got into trouble in Ukraine, this guy,” Biden said of Trump as the president shook his head with a smile.

Biden also sued Trump for telling Bob Woodward in February that he had intentionally minimized the risk of coronavirus.
Woodward recently released an explosive new e-book about Trump titled “Rage,” in which the president told reporters in an interview recorded a few weeks before the first death in the United States that he knew how “deadly” and grave the coronavirus pandemic would be. , sought to “minimize” and would continue to do so.
“He told her of a serious virus that spreads through the air and is much worse than the flu,” Biden said. “He recorded

Biden promised to penalize any country that influences U. S. elections after intelligence officials said Russia, China, and Iran were going to interfere.
“Any country that interferes with us will pay value because it is our sovereignty,” Biden said.
Biden said a former national security adviser accused Trump’s non-public lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, of being a Russian pawn by spreading misinformation, but Biden asked why Trump had challenged Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“What’s going on? Nothing is going on, ” said Biden. ” I don’t know why this president doesn’t need to face Putin. “
Trump had imposed sanctions on the Russians.
“There has been no one in Russia but Donald Trump,” Trump said.

It was a factor that had governed pre-debate politics for days: would a more moderate Trump appear at the level of the nashville debate, or would the president keep up with the pugilist taste that followed for much of the campaign?
Somehow, at least in the early moments of the debate, he controlled doing both.
Trump has moved away from the interruptions that tarnished the first debate, which gave Biden more freedom to communicate, a strategy his advisers led him to adopt, but has pressured Biden as the Democrat criticized the administration’s reaction to the coronavirus.
“We are about to enter a dark winter. And he doesn’t have a transparent plan,” Biden said at COVID in a moment.
“It was months me. He was far from us,” Trump replied.
“We are informed to live with that,” Trump said of the virus. “We can’t lock ourselves in a basement like Joe does. “
Tense but less swollen and rude than the first debate on 29 September.
At one point, Trump asked NBC’s Kristen Welker if he could respond to a biden complaint. When Welker said he could do it, Trump replied, “Thank you, I appreciate it. “
The exchange was a break with the most intense and combative exchanges he had with the moderators of the first debate and a recent town hall.

Trump sought to blame the COVID-19 pandemic and economic unrest by blaming Democratic state governors.
States like New York and Michigan, led by Democrats Andrew Cuomo and Gretchen Whitmer, have not responded and resist the reopening of their economies, Trump said.
Biden said New York and other states had “doubled the curve” in COVID instances and were returning, adding that Trump will not divide the country into “red states” and “blue states. “
“We’re all America,” Biden said.
– David Jackson
Biden brazened long-term closures of corporations to fight the coronavirus if elected president, and said reopening would have to slow down if the infection rate increased faster than might be addressed.
But the former vice president said, “I’m going to prevent the virus, the county. “
Biden blamed Trump’s “ineptitude” for the country in a scenario where many businesses and schools are closed to combat the spread of COVID-19. Biden said he supported the physical fitness precautions opposed to COVID-19 that would still allow companies to operate.
“He hasn’t been to his golf course,” Biden said of the president’s reaction to coronavirus. “You’ve negotiated with President Pelosi. “
Trump replied, “All he’s doing is talking about closures,” he said, adding that Biden likes Democratic governors who imposed closures on their states. “It will close the country if someone in our massive bureaucracy says to shut it down”
Biden replied: “Absolutely, it is not true. We can walk and chew gum at the same time.

Trump has said we are “eluding the turning point of the pandemic,” which has killed more than 220,000 people, but the president had a new message about the coronavirus.
Biden criticized Trump’s optimistic message about the pandemic, as several states succeed in new heights in new average cases and criticized the president for saying the pandemic “will soon disappear. “
“We are informed to live with that. We have no choice, we can lock ourselves in a basement like Joe does,” Trump said.
“He says to be told to live with him. People are informed to die with him,” Biden replied.

Trump and Biden interrupted their first opening remarks.
After the entire update of the first debate, the discussion committee announced that the candidate’s microphone would only be turned on while that candidate had two minutes to give a first answer to the topics of the debate.
“Am I going to ask you to talk about one at a time?” asked Kristen Welker, moderator of the debate, at first. “The purpose is for you to get along and for other Americans to listen to each and every word you have to say. “
Welker introduced the first theme, the coronavirus pandemic, and Trump and Biden interrupted their initial responses.

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has criticized Trump for doing no more to prevent 220,000 Americans from dying from COVID-19 so far.
“Whoever is guilty of these many deaths will not remain president of the United States of America,” Biden said.
The former vice president said he would urge everyone to wear a mask for months, which could save him some of the additional 200,000 deaths expected until the end of the year. He also proposed to create immediate detection systems and national criteria to reopen schools and businesses. .
“We’re in a situation where the president doesn’t yet have any plans,” Biden said, “I’ll take care of this. “

Trump responded to the first of the debate: about COVID-19, and how his administration will deal with the most recent outbreak of instances taking a position in many states.
The president targeted the country’s declining mortality rate and said states would emerge from their increases.

“He’s leaving,” he says.

The latest debate between Trump and Biden is underway in Nashville, an occasion that has been described as the president’s last and most likely chance to reinstate an overdue crusade in the country’s maximum battlefield states.
Relatives of any of the applicants took the lead at Belmont University’s Curb Event Center. An orange program and a pack of antibacterial wipes were placed in the living room seat, where about two hundred more people will see applicants compete in person.

Lara Trump, a Trump crusader and wife of Trump’s son Eric, argued with Chris Wallace of Fox News, who moderated the debate, about whether the circle of relatives invited to wear a mask inside.

President Donald Trump takes a page from his 2016 playbook by inviting a guest to attack his opponent.
Trump’s crusade enlisted Tony Bobulinski, a former business partner of Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden, who accused the former vice president of accepting influence bills from foreign entities. Bobulinski says Hunter Biden has spoken with the former vice president about his business and “cited” as a reference to seek his approval or recommendation on various potential deals. “
Joe Biden insisted that the interests of his son Hunter had never influenced his policies.
Bobulinski’s appearance comes after The New York Post reported on the alleged content of a PC hard drive purporting to document the Ukrainian and Chinese business activities of Biden’s son Hunter Biden. The federal government is investigating whether what was provided to the Post through Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s non-public attorney, is part of a Russian disinformation campaign.
Biden crusade spokesman Andrew Bates responded to accusations by noting that the former vice president issued his tax returns, which show that “there is no indication that he has made cash in those industry agreements. “
“Joe Biden has not even been concerned with dealing with his circle of relatives, nor with any foreign business. He has never had shares in such industrial agreements and no member of the circle of relatives or anyone else has had shares for him,” Bates said. .
Early Thursday, Crusade told reporters that they expected Trump to attack Biden and his family. Biden’s deputy crusader director Kate Bedingfield warned that such allegations “would amplify Russian misinformation. “
Bobulinski agreed to cooperate with a Senate investigation into the Bidens and agreed to do so through members of the National Security and Government and Finance Committees on Friday.
For Trump, the resolution is a repeat of a similar trick in 2016, when the president began a debate with Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton with three women who had accused President Bill Clinton of mis-site sexual behavior. release of the 2005 Access Hollywood recording in which he heard women groping.
In what was announced as a crusade call “before tonight’s presidential debate,” officials made accusations against Hunter Biden and his business activities in Ukraine and China. Attendees refused to answer any questions that did not fear Hunter Biden hours before the final Trump-China showdown. Biden.

The Plexiglas who separated aspiring vice presidents in their debate this month will not be provided at the level of presidential debate in Nashville.
The barrier was added to the scene after Trump’s diagnosis with COVID-19 and an epidemic at the White House, obviously visual when Vice President Mike Pence and Senator Kamala Harris debated in Utah on October 7.
Health officials in Nashville first advised Plexiglas, but after consulting with Dr. Tony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and taking into account the outcome of Trump’s negative test, the glass was removed around 4:30 pmCT, according to Frank Fahrenkopf, co-chairman of the Presidential Debate Commission.
Trump recovered from his fight against the virus and organized a planned active crusade. Both applicants tested negative for the virus before the debate.
On Thursday morning, Plexiglas barriers were noticed between the podiums, but by Thursday afternoon, after the two hopefuls had taken their guided tours of the discussion room, they had left.

Trump negative for COVID
Shortly after Trump’s COVID diagnosis this month, a consultation gave the impression that the White House never fully responded: was the president tested for the virus before reaching Biden’s level in his first debate?
This time, the White House is clearer.
“We tried it on the road here and it came back negative,” White House staff leader Mark Meadows told reporters traveling with the president for the debate in Nashville, Tennessee.
