In turning from Trump toward camera, Biden avoided being dragged down in presidential debate
President Trump had already steered the first presidential debate far off its traditional rails Tuesday night when the topic moved to the coronavirus pandemic. It was Democratic nominee Joe Biden’s turn to answer, and he faced the camera.
“Do you believe for a moment what he’s telling you in light of all the lies he’s told you about the whole issue relating to COVID?” Biden said. “He still hasn’t even acknowledged that he knew this was happening, knew how dangerous it was going to be back in February, and he didn’t even tell you.”
The tactic to ignore Trump’s distractions and speak directly to the American people helped Biden navigate a chaotic debate, according to analysts and debate experts.
