“#Will There Be a Second Trump vs. Biden Presidential Debate? (POLL)<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

The next presidential debate is scheduled to happ<\/a>en in two weeks, but will it after the criticism of the first (on Tuesday, September 29)?<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump and Democratic candidate Joe Biden faced off on issues including the coronavirus pandemic, the economy, and race at\u00a0Case Western Reserve University and the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio, while Fox News<\/a> Sunday anchor Chris Wallace served as moderator (or at least tried to). It was widely-panned in press roundups and on social media<\/a> during and after a night of interruptions and clashes. So after that, should they move forward with the second debate, set for Thursday, October 15, from Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts in Miami, with C-SPAN political editor Steve Scully\u00a0as moderator? (A third is set for a week later, on October 22, from Belmont University in Nashville, with\u00a0NBC News White House correspondent Kristen Welker moderating.)<\/p>\n

The plan seems to be to do so. “Joe Biden’s never going to refuse to talk to the American people and have any opportunity that he can to speak directly to American families and speak about the issues, speak the truth, and address the facts of where we are now but also address the hopes and dreams of the American family in terms of where we can be and Joe’s got a plan for dealing with those hopes and those aspirations as well,” Senator\u00a0Kamala Harris, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, told CNN<\/a> Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Kate Bedingfield, Biden’s deputy campaign manager, echoed that sentiment to reporters after the debate<\/a>. “I don’t know how many different ways we can say it. Yes, we are going to do the debates,” she said. “I would imagine there will be some additional conversations [with the Commission on Presidential Debates]. But yeah, we are committing to attending the debates.”<\/p>\n

But it is a valid question to ask, considering the reactions. MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough called it “a disgrace, a low point in American debate history” on Twitter<\/a>, adding, “There is no reason, not one, that Joe Biden should participate in another debate.”<\/p>\n

On CNN<\/a>, both Jake Tapper and Dana Bash slammed the debate. “That was a hot mess inside a dumpster fire inside a train wreck,” Tapper said, pointing to President Trump’s interruptions and disregard of the rules. “That was the worst debate I have ever seen. In fact, it wasn’t even a debate. It was a disgrace.” Furthermore, no matter who won, “the American people lost.” Bash agreed, adding, “that was a s**tshow,” the word that she said she was hearing used from people on both sides.<\/p>\n

“All across America, people are ready to take a shower,” journalist and news anchor Dan Rather tweeted<\/a> after the debate.<\/p>\n

ABC’s George Stephanopoulos called it “the worst presidential debate I have ever seen.” Over on NBC, Chuck Todd too used the words “train wreck” and Lester Holt said he was “at a bit of a loss for words here to describe what we’ve just witnessed.” “If you showed up looking for a food fight, you got a brawl between these two men, language that we have rarely heard from candidates in a political debate, name-calling that went to a new level,” he said<\/a>.<\/p>\n
