Jabs and talking over each other, slinging insults on both sides. So how did donald trump and joe biden do . We go to jonathan karl. This debate was a total mess. From the president you had very little offered in the way of a coherent vision of what he would do over the next four years. A lot of bullying, serial interrupti interrupting of the moderator. From the Vice President a litany of insults at the president. A clown, a racist, pupity, puppet. This was not uplifting in any way. Very little by way of substance. Much more heavy on insults. You could argue neither man won the debate. And in it ththat sense, the rea loser was donald trump. He needed to change the dynamic, the trajectory of the race and its hard to see that anything he did in this debate will do that. More on that contentious matchup, heres janai dmnorman. Are your if y. Reporter if you were a voter who wanted to hear what the candidates had to say on the issues, that would be hard, they constantly interrupted each other. Everybody knows hes a liar. But you agree, youre the liar. I want to make sure you graduated last in your class, not first in your class. Because you were president screwing things up. Youre the worst president americas ever had. Reporter with polls showing the president trailing in most battleground states, he came out swinging. You could never have done the job we did. You dont have it in your blood. If i may ask my question, sir. Reporter moderator Chris Wallace, tasked with trying to contain the melee. Im the moderator of the debate. I guess im debating you rather than him. Its hard to get any word in with this clown. The country would be better served if we could allow both people to speak with fewer interruptions. Reporter days after the bombshell reporting that the president had only paid 750 in income taxes. Will you tell us how much you paid in federal income taxes in 2016 and 2017 . Millions of dollars. You paid millions of dollars. Yes. Millions of dollars, and youll get to see it. When . Reporter stark differences between the two candidates rala bear on the covid19 pandemic, an issue on which the country doesnt think the president has handled well. When he was presented with the number, he said it is what it is. It is what it is, because you are who you are. Thats why it is. The president has no plan. Weve done a great job. The only thing i havent done a good job, and thats because of the fake news. No matter what you say to them, they give you bad press on it. Its fake news. They give you good press, they give me bad press, thats the way it is unfortunately. I dont care. Ive gotten used to it. This is the same man who told you by easter this would be gone away. By the warm weather itd be gone. Miraculous, like a miracle. By the way, you could maybe inject bleach in your arm and that would take care of it. Reporter some of the most contentious moments came during moments about Racial Justice and policing. This is a president whos done everything as a dog whistle to generate racist division. You talk were helping africanamericans, one in one thousand africanamericans has been killed because of the coronavirus. You have repeatedly criticized the Vice President for not specifically calling out antifa and other left wing extremist groups. Thats right. But are you willing tonight to condemn White Supremacists and militia groups. Sure. And say that they need to stand down and not add to the violence in these cities as weve seen in kenosha and sure, im willing to do that. I would say almost everything i see is from the left wing, not from the right wing. What are you saying . Im willing to do anything, im willing to see peace. Say it. Do did. You want to call them, what do you want to call them . White supreme iltacists. Proud boys. Stand back and stand by, but i tell you what. Somebodys got to do something about ante pa aifa and the left. This is not a right wing problem. This is a left wing problem. Antifas an idea, not an organization. Oh, you got to be kidding. Reporter the president making his case for why voters should choose him. The job that weve done, and ill tell you something. Some people sea maybe the most important. Bit end of the first team, ill have approximately 300 federal judges and court of appeals judges. 300, and hopefully three Great Supreme Court judges. Justices. That is a record, the likes of which very few people. And you know one of the reasons ill have so many judges . Because president obama and him left me 128 judges to fill. Under this president weve become weaker, sicker, poorer, more divided and more violent. When i was Vice President , we inherited a recession. I was asked to fix it. I did. We left him a blooming economy and he caused the recession. With regard to being weaker, the fact is that ive gone head to head with putin and made it clear to him were not going to take any of his stuff. Hes putins puppy. He still refuses to say anything to putin about the bounty on the heads of american soldiers. Reporter the former Vice President pledging to abide by the voters choice. His own Homeland Security director and fbi director says theres no evidence at all that mailin ballots are the source of being manipulated and cheating. They said that. This is all about trying to dissuade people from voting, because hes trying to scare people into thinking that its not going to be legitimate. Reporter while the president continued his unfounded claims that the election will not be fair. As far as the balance rots are concerned, its a disaster. Theres fraud. They found them in creeks. They found some with the name trump the other day in a wastepaper basket. This is going to be a fraud like youve never seen. Its a rigged election. Millions of mailin ballots have gone out. What are you going to do about it . And are you counting on the Supreme Court including a Justice Barrett to settle any dissn d dispute . Reporter we asked rick klein to fact check some of the biggest moments. President trump claimed we are weeks away from a vaccine for covid19. That is just not the case. Experts in his own administration and the drug industry are estimating it will be at least mid 2021 before a vaccine is widely available to the public. Vice President Biden said there are 100 million americans who have preexisting conditions and could lose their health care. Its correct, there are several estimates that there are third of americans who have preexisting conditions, although those in danger of losing their coverage is half that at most. The president said that problems with mailin voting are so vast he wont be able to trust the result. That is beyond alarmist. Theres been no widespread problems. There are a lot more states doing mailin voting but no evidence that any of that will contribute to any questioning of the elections integrity itself. Reporter more than a million americans have already cast their ballots, with enthusiasm close on both sides, how many minds were changed tonight . Our thanks to janai.

Nightline, trump versus biden continues. Here now, linsey davis. Welcome back. Many people coming away feeling disappointed with tonights debate. It was a contentious battle. Frustration, interruptions and a lot of low blows. Here to break it down is our powerhouse, chris emmanuel. It was raw, it was contentious. Is this what was planned, and did this work ultimately for the president . It was not always planned. It was hotter than it was planned to be. I think that the advice was for the president to be aggressive, but it was hotter than it was planned to be. So, in that respect to answer that question, no. Did it help the president . Listen, i think were going to have to see as time goes on. These people get different perspectives on things as they move a day or two away from this. I dont know what the perspective will be. As i said earlier tonight, i think the problems that the president had tonight can potentially be fixed, you know, potentially, you can turn that heat down a little bit. And rahm, question to you, President Trump of course has been attacking joe biden for months, but this was the first time you noticed. They were facetoface actually in the same arena, because it was really so combative. How did you think that joe biden fared . Your question has the answer. You know, if youre e youre e y difficueffective as a leader, you have to have a toolbox. People are exhausted by donald trump and nothing tonight changed their feeling of of of f exas y exhaustion. People look to joe biden. And its very hard to be steady. That said, he had steady moments. And he also smiled. At no time did either trump smile, look at the camera, talk to the American People about their lives, their future. Therefore, i think trump lost this debate, because he lost be being who he is, donald trump. The New York Times reported that trump paid 750 in federal taxes in 2017 and 2016. But trump flat out denied it, saying hes paid millions in taxes, do you think americans believed that, and how much does it matter . Dits such a small portion, dont know what you remember. I think people take away the food fight, the tenor and tone. He needed to go out and make this a choice. He had moments where he did this in the debate, but then it devolved again. Its a status quo situation, the debate, which means he didnt get ahead, which is what he needed to do. Yeah vivette, coronavirus was issue, do you think joe bidens attacks on the president and his handling landed and were they effective . I think they did. Donald trump has continued to try to blame this on china. He tried to say that there would have been more death if joe biden was president. Nobody believes that. I mean the reality is, joe biden has provided Real Solutions about things we can do now to prevent future deaths. If we just require everyone to wear a mask, guess what, we cut that in maf. Donald trump had no rebuttal to that. What i loved that joe biden did is how this affects africanamericans. He did that in rebuttal that hes the best president africanamericans have ever had. He said you care so much about africanamericans, theyre being hurt disproportionately by this virus and youve done nothing to remedy that. Governor christy, h christy,h sure, ill do it, what do you want me to say exactly, and all he said was say stand back and stand by. Some might perceive it as a call to action. Why does he have a difficult time . Why not condemn White Supremacists . He said it up top yes i will. And he said it all the way back at charlottesville, and his full statement at charlottesville, he said i denounce White Supremacists and nene the heat was so high. They were both yelling, trump was yelling, biden was yelling, Chris Wallace was yelling twrieing to gtwrirying to get in between them. I didnt hear exactly what he said. Ive heard him say this before. So i dont think he has a problem saying it, and he said it up at the top, sure i will. That was a little bit of trump sarcasm, too. Ive talked to him about this. He feels like he has denounced it a number of times, and when he said yes, sure i will, what exactly do you want moo to me to say, he feels frustrated, he has said a number of times that he denounces White Supremacists and neonazis. I think that was him saying to wallace, tell me exactly what you want me to say to put this to rest. The fear of white supremacy, the fear of whats happening in our country as it relates to black people has fueled the Largest GlobalCivil Rights Movement of our time, and he cant say, he knows exactly who hes talking to. And i do think that proud boys moment, which many people in my connection say, did you hear that . That stokes fear in the hearts of so many people, the idea that youre saying stand by . For what . We know that those individuals take to heart what he said, that has fueled a lot of shootings that have happened. He knows that his words matter, and that should stoke fear in the hearts of not just black americans but all americans. Thanks so much, the round table. That is it for us tonight. Byron .

I have moderate to severe pnow, theres skyrizi. Things are getting clearer, yeah i feel free to bare my skin yeah thats all me. Nothing and me go hand in hand nothing on my skin thats my new plan. Nothing is everything. Keep your skin clearer with skyrizi. 3 out of 4 people achieved 90 clearer skin at 4 months. Of those, nearly 9 out of 10 sustained it through 1 year. And skyrizi is 4 doses a year, after 2 starter doses. I see nothing in a different way and its my moment so i just gotta say nothing is everything skyrizi may increase your risk of infections and lower your ability to fight them. Before treatment your doctor should check you for infections and tuberculosis. Tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms such as fevers, sweats, chills, muscle aches or coughs, or if you plan to or recently received a vaccine. Nothing is everything ask your dermatologist about skyrizi. Your shoulder seems to be healing nicely. Im sorry baby. I dont want you to play with that. singing twinkle, twinkle little star.

To invest in our communities, in our clinics, in the essential workers who treat everyone rich, poor, and inbetween. Whether its this pandemic or the next health crisis, vote yes on prop fifteen. For all of us. And now, some postdebate reactions from voters across america. I thought joe biden was calm, cool and collected while trying to debate a giant toddler, and thats an insult to toddlers. I watched it with my mom. She said her Blood Pressure was rising. I intend to vote for President Trump, because i believe that, you know, he has a strength that i dont see in the joe biden in the last 47 years. Trump has got an exuberant personality. Oftentimes its caustic. But at the same time, he is getting the things done. I have not seen President Trump be a leader, and i want to see the next four years, because i have children, and my son, i dont want to see the same cycle repeating over and over. Thats what im hoping for the next four years. A change must come, and a change will come. Voices of voters. Finally tonight, in regard to a neofascist organization that promotes and engages in political violence, the president of the United States said, and i quote, stand back and stand by. It was a late maya angelou who said, when people show you who they are, believe them. Thats nightline for this evening. Thanks for the company, america. Goodnight. This ones for you.
