And while many are wondering why nbc would schedule this at the same time as bidens town hall, instead of on another night or even just in another time slot, so we could see what both candidates have to say, the answer to the question is, nbc sucks. [ laughter ] thats why. You should never watch that channel. [ cheers and applause ] its a real peacock block is what it was. Joe biden took questions from voters in philadelphia. Trump again was in florida. Even though they were 1,000 miles apart, i kept fantasizing about a surprise wrestle mania moment where biden runs behind trump and bangs him in the head with a folding chair. Savannah guthrie as moderator tonight, which is a role she also played in 2016 when then candidate trump did his first town hall with nbc.
