U.S. President Donald Trump and Democratic challenger Joe Biden squared off Thursday night in their final debate, which stood as the trailing incumbent’s best chance to change the race’s trajectory with just 12 days until the election.
The night opened with a clash over the president’s handling of the pandemic, which polling suggests is the campaign’s defining issue for voters, with Biden declaring, “Anyone responsible for that many deaths should not remain president of the United States of America.”
Trump defended his management of the nation’s most deadly health crisis in a century, dismissing Biden’s warning that the nation had a “dark winter ahead” due to spikes in infections. And he promised that a vaccine would be ready in weeks.
“It will go away,” said Trump, staying with his optimistic assessment of the pandemic. “We’re rounding the turn. We’re rounding the corner. It’s going away.”
Plus, Biden accused his opponent Trump of not being tough enough on Russia when it comes to election interference. "I don't know why this president isn't taking on Putin when he's putting bounties on the heads of American soldiers," said Biden.
Biden Also attacked Trump over his close relationship with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. When Trump defended the relationship saying there was no war, Biden shot back saying, "We had a good relationship with Hitler before he, in fact, invaded Europe, the rest of Europe. Come on. "
When discussing the issue of race and his former comments on the Black Lives Matter movement, during the debate, Trump said that he was the "least racist person in the room" reiterating that no one has done "what he has done for the Black community."
The election will take place on Nov. 3.
