US Presidential (D-11): Clashes but no KO in the final debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden -
20 Minutes
The stakes were huge.
At 12 days before the poll (11 in France this Friday), Donald Trump and Joe Biden clashed on the Nashville stage on Thursday evening for their final debate.
It was of a much better standard than the previous one, without untimely interruption.
And if the Democratic candidate dominated the first half, especially on the coronavirus, Donald Trump finished strong by pushing Joe Biden to say that he was in favor of a transition out of oil.
A risky statement that the US president intends to exploit in Pennsylvania, an industrial state that could tip the election.
Joe Biden starts strong on coronavirus
“Someone who is responsible for so many deaths should not be able to remain President of the United States of America.
Joe Biden delivered a scathing indictment on the Covid.
Wielding his mask, often mocked by Donald Trump, he predicted a "dark winter", which could cause 200,000 additional deaths in America according to him.
His latest punchline could make an impression: “He says (the country) is getting used to living with the coronavirus.
No, he's learning to die with it.

Donald Trump's attacks on Hunter Biden backfire
He waited until the middle of the debate to draw.
Donald Trump obviously evoked the "laptop from hell", this laptop "from hell" which would belong to Hunter Biden, and which would have been abandoned at a repairman, with emails published in dribbles by the
New York Post
.
"Joe, I think you owe the Americans an explanation," Trump insisted, accusing the Democrat of being a "corrupt politician" and of "getting rich in China and Ukraine with his son."
Joe Biden was ready: “I never got a dime from a foreign source.
I've published 22 years of tax returns, where are yours?
Donald Trump assured that he would publish them once his audit is complete.
“He's been saying that for four years,” Biden recalled.
Pushed by Donald Trump, Joe Biden takes a risk on oil
During a pass of arms on climate change, Donald Trump did not give up and pushed Joe Biden to clarify his position on hydrocarbons.
The Democrat then said he was in favor of "a transition to (get out) of oil" and favor "renewable energies."
The American president did not let the opportunity pass: “It's a hell of a statement.
It destroys the oil industry.
Will you remember it in Texas?
Will you remember it in Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, Ohio?
"
Joe Biden is currently five points ahead in Pennsylvania, the same as Hillary Clinton four years ago.
And in the past two weeks, the gap had narrowed to a victory over Donald Trump's thread.
There is one notable difference, however: more than a third of Americans have already voted this year, which could make a turnaround more complicated.
