Hello and welcome to the continuation of the US election of Al Jazeera, these are Jihan Abdalla and Saba Aziz.
Biden was asked about Trump’s leaks from his COVID-19 tests surrounding the latest debate.
“It’s a decency to be able to know whether you’re transparent or not,” Biden said, adding that it “will comply with what commission regulations require” in the next debate scheduled for October 22.
“I am convinced that the Cleveland Clinic is the one that oversees it. They’ll let what happened last time happen. They’re going to ask it to be safe,” Biden said.
Keenan Wilson, an African-American from Narberth, Pennsylvania, asked Biden how he would cope with racial division in the United States.
“We are a country of slaves who came here 400 years ago, indigenous, other people and all are immigrants. And we are a varied country, and unless we treat other people equally, we will never, simply, ever succeed in our but I think other Americans need that to happen,” Biden said.
“If I’m chosen, you’ll hear me making love. You’ll hear me split up. They’ll see me looking to unify me,” Biden said.
Mark Hoffman, a Republican from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, asked Biden if President Trump’s foreigner deserved some credit.
“We are in a position where we are more remote in the world than ever,” Biden said.
“I congratulate the president on the agreement with Israel recently,” Biden said, referring to Trump’s negotiated agreements with the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Israel. But Trump’s “America First” with America’s allies has translated into “America only,” Biden said. .
“Iran is closer to having enough nuclear power to build an atomic bomb and North Korea has more bombs and missiles at its disposal,” Biden said.
“We see that our NATO allies are publicly saying they can’t count on us. We are also on a stage where, in the Far East, we are in the Western Pacific, where we are also isolated. You don’t agree with Japan and South Korea. China is making progress, so I’d say we’re less than we’ve been. “
Michele Ellison, a Pittsburgh Republican who voted for Democrats, asked Biden about his hydraulic fracturing policy, one drilling for oil and fuel in shale formations.
“I’m proposing to ban hydraulic fracturing. You want to make sure that hydraulic fracturing is polluting . . . it has to be very, very well managed,” Biden said.
“The long term depends on renewable energy,” like wind and solar, Biden said, adding that he believes the shift from the U. S. economy to blank energy will create jobs.
“Every time we communicate about global warming and energy, the president thinks it’s a joke and I think it’s jobs,” Biden said.
One voter asked Trump, “If you are elected for a temporary period, do you expect to continue your previous efforts to eliminate the DACA [Deferred Action for Arrivals] program?”
Trump promised, “Let’s deal with DACA, let’s deal with the ‘dreamer’,” before moderator Savannah Guthrie clarified that “the DACA program has been cut off. “
Trump responded that basically because of the pandemic, but also for “other reasons” he did not detailed.
When Guthrie noted that Trump had been promising an immigration policy for months and had not yet revealed a plan, he promised, “I think I’m going to see something very, very good,” without giving additional details.
One voter asked Trump why he was rushing to appoint Amy Coney Barrett to take the post of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and moderator Savannah Guthrie asked him what Trump had said about a similar judicial vacuum scenario.
When asked about his opposition to President Obama taking the post of Judge Antonin Scalia before the 2016 election, Trump frankly said his opinion had been reversed.
“The total ball game when I saw how Judge Kavanaugh was treated,” he said, referring to the painful confirmation procedure for Trump’s most recent Supreme Court nomination.
“I have noticed that a human being is so abused. “
Biden asked about President Trump’s appointment of conservative jurist Amy Coney Barrett to the U. S. Supreme Court and lobbied through moderator George Stephanopoulos on whether Democrats would seek to expand the court after the election.
“Once an election begins, it is incompatible with the constitutional principles put on the court,” Biden said, adding, “I haven’t been a court fanatic. “
But “depends on how I go,” Biden. Si Senate Republicans begin Barrett’s confirmation of the objections of Senate Democrats, Biden said, “I’m open to what it will be from that moment on. “
Moderator Savannah Guthrie referred to last month’s New York Times about Trump’s tax returns and asked bluntly about his debts: “Who do you owe $421 million to?”
Trump responded by saying that what the Times was “doing illegal” and that “his numbers were wrong. “
He insisted he didn’t owe Russia money. “I don’t owe any of those sinister other people money. “
Angela Politarhos, a Republican voter from Garnet Valley, Pennsylvania, asked Biden what his position was on the 1994 crime bill “showing minorities of prejudice. “
“First of all, things have replaced a lot,” said Biden, who is the main sponsor of the bill in the U. S. Senate.
Biden noted that the bill was backed by black lawmakers and urban leaders at the time, but stated that it resulted in unfair criminal convictions for drug-related crimes.
“No one deserves to be imprisoned for drug use,” Biden said. “They deserve to move on to compulsory rehabilitation. We deserve to build rehabilitation centers. “
“We decriminalize marijuana,” Biden said. “We want to replace the system. “
Trump, who last month would not engage in a nonviolent force movement if he lost the election, took the opposite aspect when asked the same thing in his mayoral part.
“Peaceful movement? I probably need it. But ideally, I don’t need to move, because I need to win,” Trump said, before accusing Democrats of being the ones who didn’t settle for a nonviolent movement in 2016, claiming that they “had spied my campaign a lot” and “tried to take a properly elected president in office. “
“And then they communicate about ‘Will you settle for a nonviolent transfer?'” he continued. “And the answer is yes, I will. But I need this to be a fair choice. And everyone, too.
In reaction to a question from voters why a coronavirus stimulus bill in Congress is stuck, Trump blamed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
“The challenge you have is Nancy Pelosi, she doesn’t care about the worker, she doesn’t care about people,” she said, acknowledging that Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell is also part of the explanation for why Democrats and Republicans are at a s certain point. .
“She’s on her way, she doesn’t approve. “
Trump helps maintain a chart showing the number of deaths from COVID-19 in the United States and other countries [Carlos Barria / Reuters] When asked if Senate Republicans would settle for a deal reached through the White House and House Democrats, Trump expressed serious confidence, even if McConnell warned otherwise.
“I’m in a position to point out a big and charming stimulant,” Trump said. “If we settle for something, Republicans will agree.
Cedric Humphrey, an African-American voter, asked Biden why blacks vote for him instead of voting “a formula that doesn’t protect them. “
“This is a sacred opportunity to have the right to vote. It can make a difference if young black men and women vote. They can make the final results of this election, not a joke, they can do it,” Biden said.
Biden said he sees education as “the key” to the progress of black Americans and said he would take steps to invest more federal budgets in schools and housing, while “dealing with a corrupt justice system, making it fair and more decent. “
One voter asked Trump if his delight with COVID-19 had replaced his opinion of dressing up in the mask and, while saying, “I totally agree,” he also noted that those are not effective.
Moderator Savannah Guthrie interrupted him by saying “the mavens are united” in the confidence that masked dresses will convey greatly.
“I say the mask. I agree with that,” Trump said. “We’re on the same side. “
A Republican voter in a suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, asked Biden about his tax plan.
“When I said Trump’s tax cuts of about $1. 3 trillion of the $2 trillion in tax cuts went to the tenth most sensible of 1%, that’s what I’m talking about eliminating, not all the tax cuts that exist. “Biden told me.
Biden said he would raise the corporate tax rate to 28% and raise taxes for others earning more than $400,000 to 39. 6%.
Trump asked about the complaint of QAnon, whose fans are manipulating conspiracy theories about Democrats.
He refused to denounce or even say that his theories overlap.
“I don’t know anything about QAnon . . . I don’t know,” Trump said before adding, “I know you oppose pedophilia. “
Trump then invested and asked moderator Savannah Guthrie why he didn’t ask Joe Biden why he wasn’t denouncing Antifa and “the radical left. “
Guthrie then noted that Republican Sen. Ben Sasse said, “QAnon is crazy,” Trump said, “he might be right, I just don’t know anything about Qanon. “
Kelly Leigh, from Philadelphia, asked Biden if an approved vaccine until the end of the year would take it?
“President Trump is talking about things that are even accurate about vaccines. We’re going to have one right now. It’s going to happen and so on. The fact is that if scientists, if the framework of scientists say that’s what they’re in a position to do . . . I’d take it, ” said Biden.
Biden said as president that he would not necessarily force others to take the vaccine in long-term circumstances, but that it would inspire him.
President Donald Trump asked directly through NBC News’ Savannah Guthrie when his last negative coronavirus check before his COVID -19 diagnosis and Trump continued to avoid details.
“Me all the time,” Trump repeated when asked if he had edited negative on September 29, the day of his debate with Joe Biden.
“I probably did,” he said, without specifying when his last negative check was before the positive on October 1.
Nick Feden, a Democrat from Jenkintown, Pennsylvania, Joe Biden a two-part question:
What did it mean to stick to science in genuine politics at the beginning of the coronavirus epidemic?And, in the future, what would it mean to stick to science in terms of policy in a Biden administration?
Biden said Trump could not push Chinese President Xi back when the Chinese government expelled U. S. experts at the start of the outbreak.
“As far as we know, Trump has never rejected that. The other 44 people were sent home, but were never replaced,” Biden said.
Biden said Trump told the public what scientists had told him about the threat of the virus.
“Americans don’t panic. He panicked. He didn’t say a word to anyone,” Biden said.

“Then I do and it’s NBC. The worst part. “
“And then they asked me if I would, and I have an idea of what the point is, we have a free hour on TV,” Trump added.
