The recent debate between Presidential candidates Donald Trump and Joe Biden showcased Trump’s strategy of attacking Biden’s abilities and touting his own achievements, despite not providing concrete plans for the future. Although Trump dominated the non-verbal aspect of the debate, Biden struggled with clarity and coherence in his responses. The discussion on the candidates’ ages and cognitive abilities took a comical turn, revealing more about their characters than their policies.
Biden’s recent lead in some polls shows a shift in voter sentiment, but it remains to be seen how this will play out in swing states. Despite Trump’s setbacks in polls, his base remains strong, fueled by recent events.
The debate left undecided voters confused and wary of both candidates, highlighting the need for a compelling and strong leader. Trump’s aggression may prove to be a weakness, while Biden’s resilience could resonate with voters seeking stability. Ultimately, the debate underscored the challenges faced by both candidates and the importance of choosing the lesser of two evils in the upcoming election.
