Tick ​​tock, tick tock, his tactic is the attack

He got up in good shape.

From the early hours of the day in the United States, Donald Trump demanded live on Fox News for a corruption investigation into Joe Biden.

New York Post

revelations

last week concerning emails on the computer of Hunter Biden, son of Joe Biden.

On Fox News this am Trump demanded that AG Barr open an investigation into Biden before Nov. 3:

“He has to act and he has to act fast.

He must appoint someone, this is major corruption, and this must be known before the election, ”admonished Donald Trump.

The story revealed by the New York tabloid has not yet been verified, including by other media.

Donald Trump's campaign team keeps accusing his opponent of corruption.

A message relayed more and more frequently, two weeks before the election.

Pass me the mic '

Cut their whistles!

The Commission which organizes the presidential debates has decided: the microphones of Donald Trump and Joe Biden will be cut at certain times of the last face-to-face which must be held Thursday between the two candidates.

Such a decision comes after the first debate, on September 29, turned into cacophony.

Donald Trump did not hesitate to constantly interrupt his rival, sometimes to insult him.

So much so that this face-to-face meeting between the two candidates had been described by all observers as "the worst debate in the history of the United States".

This time, the Commission therefore opted for a

safer

solution

.

The debate will last 90 minutes and will consist of six segments.

The two rivals will have two uninterrupted minutes at the start of each streak before answering questions.

After opposing this new concept of debate with mics cut off, Donald Trump's campaign team has finally confirmed the participation of his candidate while denouncing yet another attempt to favor Joe Biden… Prepare the popcorn.

The quiet man

While his opponent multiplies the attacks against him, but also against Doctor Fauci, member of the White House crisis cell on the coronavirus, Kamala Harris, and many others, Joe Biden remains rather discreet.

Far ahead in the polls, he has only few public commitments until Thursday to prepare his televised performance.

But this is not the only reason.

As the former vice-president's advisers point out: Joe Biden's greatest asset is Donald Trump.

The Democratic camp has understood that the president's attacks sometimes hurt him in public opinion.

The strategy is therefore simple: do not blunder, stay calm and in control - as opposed to the president - and wait for the mistakes of the other.

The latest evidence of the success of this tactic is the outcry over Donald Trump's criticisms on Monday against Anthony Fauci, one of the country's (and world's) most respected immunologists.

Will this strategy be enough to win?
