The US National Interest reported that the first debate between current US President Donald Trump and his Democratic rival in the presidential election, Joe Biden, will take place on September 29 at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana.
And it seems - according to an article by the journalist Rachel Bocino published on the site - that Biden may be defeated in the debate, as an opinion poll conducted by USA Today in partnership with Suffolk University in Boston indicates that 47% Of Americans expect Trump to win the next debate, compared to 41% for the former vice president.
Pocino attributes Biden's expected defeat to being a "weak debate" as evidenced by his performance in the debates that were broadcast live during the primaries for the Democratic presidential nomination.
The writer believes that Trump uses "aggressive strategies" in his election campaigns, and tends to describe his opponent as "sleeping atmosphere" to discourage him.
Although Pocino admits in her article that debates do not have a significant impact on swing votes, they increase voter awareness and solidify their partisan positions, and since Trump has a strong presence in the presidential debates, Biden must emerge as a winner if he wants to reach the Oval Office.
The journalist gives Biden 5 tips he must take to win the next debates:
The site confirms that Biden has never called to stop funding the police, contrary to what Trump and his supporters promote (Reuters)
The position on the campaign to stop funding the police
On the first evening of the Republican National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina late last month, the speakers reflected a picture of America, in which the Democrats stopped funding the police.
Two speakers claimed that day that Biden was eager to cut funding to the police to allow "mobs" to occupy the streets of the United States.
Although some progressives in the Democratic Party have already called for an end to police funding, Biden did not say so. Rather, he confirmed in an interview with CBS television that he was not in favor of that call, but rather in favor of adapting federal police aid.
Despite his stance against the abolition of police funding, Trump and his supporters have repeatedly stated that his Democratic rival intends to eliminate the police service, and to spread more social and political unrest in American cities and suburbs.
The article's author advises Joe Biden to clarify his position on the issue in the presidential debates, because some hesitant voters may believe continuing Republican claims that he really wants to stop funding the police.
Denial of "socialist candidate"
Biden chose Senator Kamala Harris - according to the site - to be his candidate for the vice presidency in the upcoming elections, a departure from the norm, as in the past Democratic candidates used to choose a vice president from among those who adopt a right-wing ideology more than the candidate for the presidency.
However, there is no doubt that Biden leans more to the left, but he did not become a socialist, and it is known that Kamala Harris is the most liberal and liberal in the Senate, and he chose her in order to impart a diversity of ideas and visions, and to rally a base from the left to his side that he would not have obtained. on his own.
Bukeno asserts that the result of these decisions was the tendency of his agenda to the left, and yet it cannot be described as radical or socialist.
According to opinion polls, 26% of voters believe Biden is a moderate candidate, while only 15% think this trait applies to Trump.
Therefore, Biden should focus on this point during the debates, and that his presidency will be willing to accept new and diverse ideas about how to run the federal government, in contrast to Trump, who supports rhetoric and extremist rhetoric.
The majority of Americans deplored Trump's handling of the Corona pandemic (Reuters)
Driving in a Time of Pandemic
Trump's handling of the emerging corona virus pandemic was not effective and strong, and according to one opinion poll, 56.1% of the American public disapproved of his handling of the pandemic, and Biden could use this to his advantage during the debates, especially since he gained experience as Vice President Barack Obama when an influenza pandemic broke out. Swine, and afterwards, an Ebola epidemic.
A rescue fund
Last May, the headlines in American newspapers and media were about Biden campaign employees donating to a group active in paying bail for the release of demonstrators arrested during protests against the killing of George Floyd in Minnesota, and they were accused of their involvement in sabotaging the city, except that it was not There is evidence to prove that.
Biden criticized the violent protests that erupted in the aftermath of Floyd's murder, but many of his campaign employees donated their money to a non-profit organization in Minnesota that pays guarantees for low-income people, and the campaign itself did not donate any money.
Some Republicans took advantage of the incident to undermine Biden as protecting the violence of the protesters, and the author of the article claims that the matter is pure fabrication, and that the Democratic presidential candidate has publicly stated on several occasions that he is against violence and refuses to bail cash in justice platforms.
Boccino believes that Trump would likely get himself involved in this debate if the bail payment incident was raised in the debates, arguing that Biden would support far-left positions and encourage illegal protests that embrace issues related to police behavior and racial discrimination.
The site believes that Biden must defend his position in support of the two-state solution in exchange for Trump administration cheering the Israeli-Emirati normalization agreement (Reuters)
The Emirati-Israeli agreement
The Trump administration has always seen in its endeavors to push Israel and the UAE towards reaching an agreement between them an important achievement to be counted on, and on this basis, Trump was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for 2020 in recognition of his vital role in "facilitating communication between the conflicting parties and creating new dynamics in other long-running conflicts." Extend it, "as the nomination letter quotes.
On the other hand, Biden's campaign said that the former vice president wants to return to the "traditional" role of the United States in favor of establishing two states for Israelis and Palestinians, despite its avoidance of raising the issue after it became at the rear of concerns due to the Corona pandemic and its repercussions.
Biden - according to the author - should address in any future presidential debate the Emirati-Israeli agreement that was supported by supporters of Trump and his allies, and how his quiet plan in this regard will be welcomed not by the progressives alone, but by the other party as well.
And concludes that Biden has many issues that must be addressed during the presidential debates in order to clarify some of the misinformation about the form that his administration will be in in the event of his in office.
