President
Trump and Democratic Party Presidential Nominee Joe Biden will face each other
at the first presidential debate ahead of US elections. The elections are
scheduled to take place on November 3rd and both candidates have
stepped up their efforts to gain initial ground with the voters and the first debate
on Tuesday will be an invaluable stepping-stone for either candidate to ascend
the throne.
The debate will
take place in Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. Former
Vice-President is currently leading the polls but if polls were any indication
for things to come, they are not reliable. In 2016, then Vice-President and Democratic
Party’s presidential nominee led Trump in national polls but ended up losing to
Trump in elections.
The debate
today will be a key factor in the days to come before the elections. President
Trump is coming into the debate on the back of yet another major scandal
involving his highly controversial income tax returns. The New York Times have reported
that President Trump have showed losses to IRS and paid as much as little as $750
in 2016 and 2017. The NY Times report directly contradicts of Trump’s claims of
a successful businessman.
The tax
return report by NY Times is the least of worries for President Trump as the
United States is sharply divided in the areas of racial injustice. Mass
protests began after the death of a black man, George Floyd at the hands of
Minnesota Police Officers.
President Trump
will be facing daunting questions about his tepid covid-19 response from Biden.
More than 200,000 American lives have been lost due to the coronavirus since the
pandemic began in March.
In the
previous debates against Hillary Clinton, President Trump was unforgiving and
bashful which worked quite wonderfully for him in 2016.
