As moderator Kristen Welker spent the first 20 minutes asking questions about the handling of the coronavirus, Trump steered clear of some of the theatrics of the first debate. At one point, he even was polite to Welker, telling her, when he was given time to respond, “Thank you, and I appreciate that.” That was a contrast to his attacks on her over the past week.
“I caught it. I learned a lot. Great doctors, great hospitals and now I recovered,” Trump saod. “Now we have to recover. We can’t close our nation.” The debate is the second between Biden and Trump, after the president canceled his participation in a town hall event last week. Since then, Trump and his campaign have continued to criticize the organizers of the debate, the, as biased. The attacks on Welker have followed a pattern of Trump going after whoever is asking the questions at the debate, whether it be to “work the refs” in advance or to claim that the process was unfair afterward.
That has included Trump’s decision to release video footage of a 60 Minutes interview, set to air on Sunday, because he was upset over the nature of correspondent Lesley Stahl’s questions. And at the debate itself, his campaign brought Tony Bobulinski, Hunter Biden’s former business partner, to speak to reporters and claim that the elder Biden discussed business with his son. The Biden campaign responded by saying it was a “pathetic farce executed by a flailing campaign.
