The mood was less angry in the second and final debate between the two US presidential candidates when they shared the stage in Nashville, Tennessee on Friday night Swedish time.

In the American media, the focus is on Joe Biden and Donald Trump's "different visions for the United States".

CNN describes the meeting as "a more normal debate" than the previous one.

The news channel also writes that Trump focused on the differences in the US while Biden spoke of unification.

"Huge improvement"

Fox News focused on the presidential candidates' debate over Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden's business connections in Ukraine and foreign interference in US elections. 

"The beatings were delivered in a respectful manner, at least compared to the first debate," writes Fox News' Howard Kurtz.

"A huge improvement since the cacophony in Cleveland."

The first presidential debate in Cleveland was described as chaos after Trump and Biden repeatedly interrupted and talked to each other.

"No shortage of attacks"

The New York Times also describes the candidates' different visions of the future when they both debated, among other things, the corona pandemic, healthcare and migration issues.

"Calmer, but no lack of attacks," the newspaper writes.

The candidates gave "opposite forecasts for the corona pandemic and showed incompatible differences in subjects such as the economy, the health care system, climate change and migration policy."

The conservative news site Breitbart gives Donald Trump the thumbs up.

"Trump elegant in the final debate, beats Biden in style and substance" and that Trump "crushes Biden relentlessly over family corruption", they write.
