Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden...getting attention for using a teleprompter before answering a voters question. ...

“The American people should not be deprived of the chance to see the two candidates for president debate face to face two more times just because the Commission on Presidential Debates wants to protect Joe Biden. It remains extremely suspect that the CPD announced the brand new virtual format at 7:30am ET today immediately after Vice President Mike Pence had just wiped the floor with Senator Kamala Harris. Clearly the commission wanted to shift attention away from Pence’s complete victory. As President Trump said, a virtual debate is a non-starter and would clearly be a gift to Biden because he...

Sen. Kamala Harris let her face — eye rolls, smirking, scoffs and all — do all the talking during the vice presidential debate Wednesday night, but some experts believe it could cost her with voters. Pollster Frank Luntz said Vice President Mike Pence was the clear winner of the 90-minute debate, which the Democratic vice presidential nominee forgot to bring her poker face to. “You can’t give Mike credit for winning the debate. You have to give Kamala responsibility for losing it,” Luntz said Thursday on CNBC. “Because of the tone, because of the demeanor … the smirking and the...

The Commission on Presidential Debates announced Thursday morning that the second debate between former Vice President Joe Biden and President Donald Trump will be virtual. However, shortly after the change was announced, Trump said he would refuse to participate in an interview with Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo. "I'm not going to do a virtual debate," Trump said Thursday morning. "No, I'm not going to waste my time with a virtual debate." In light of the president's refusal to debate virtually, Biden will instead participate in an ABC News town hall moderated by ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos in...

The next presidential debate fell into serious jeopardy on Thursday after President Trump said he would refuse to participate in a virtual matchup and Joseph R. Biden Jr. pledged to hold an alternative town hall with voters on the night of the scheduled event. The extraordinary developments came after Mr. Trump rejected plans by the Commission on Presidential Debates to have the candidates square off remotely from separate locations on Oct. 15, rather than onstage in Miami, citing health concerns about the coronavirus.

Pollster Frank Luntz hosted a focus group and found the participants “overwhelmingly ” believe vice president Mike Pence won Wednesday night’s debate. After the debate was over, he asked for a show of hands as far as who won, and told everyone they had to choose one way or the others. No one was allowed to abstain. Democrat vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris only received two votes out of the 15 undecided voters present. The rest went for Pence.“It’s overwhelmingly Mike Pence ,” Luntz said as he counted the hands. When he asked why, the answers sounded like this: “Mike...

SNIP I think the president’s right on this, and unfortunately, I think this is a pattern we’ve seen play out throughout the debates, where the moderators and the debate commission have behaved like arms of the Joe Biden campaign,” Cruz explained. “I think at the first debate … Chris Wallace did a terrible job moderating. Last night, I think Susan Page did a better job moderating. She didn’t interrupt as much but her questions were still, you know, it’s an interesting hypothetical to go back and look at the questions she asked, and ask how would the questions have read...

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s campaign is calling for changes to the final debate after President Trump pulled out of next week’s debate following the Commission on Presidential Debate’s announcement of a late change to the format. The Oct. 15 debate — which was supposed to be the second out of three — was designed as a town hall-style event between Trump and Biden. Trump announced Thursday he won’t be participating after the Commission said it would take place virtually, rather than in-person, because the president contracted the coronavirus. The Biden campaign is now calling on the commission to change...

Megyn Kelly rebuked Senator Kamala Harris on Tuesday, October 6, for a series of facial expressions the California Democrat made during the vice presidential debate, suggesting that there are several ways to deal with a political opponent. Taking to Twitter, the former Fox News and NBC News star advised Harris to take Vice President Pence's arguments "like a woman" and "not make faces," The Hill reported. Following Kelly's remarks, A&E's Elizabeth Vargas, formerly of ABC News, appeared to take offense. "Take it like a woman?" Vargas tweeted in response. "Instead of 'like a man,' We can be stoic too," Kelly...

Kamala Harris certainly was hostile, rude, sullen and condescending to VP Pence. She displayed an opposition to his requests, at other times she displayed an almost teenager-like response to Pence more than once, and only a passive-aggressive woman would hold a man to not interrupting while doing it herself. And the smirks! Sheesh. Grow up. Adult women don't behave like that. I thought that Democrats no longer thought passive-aggressive women were powerful?

Vice presidential debates are rarely as thrilling as the showdowns between the two people running for commander-in-chief. But Wednesday’s faceoff between Democratic vice presidential nominee Sen. Kamala Harris and Vice President Mike Pence in Salt Lake City, Utah, is taking on heightened importance. With 74-year old President Trump and 77-year old Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden being the oldest standard bearers ever to lead the Democratic and Republican national party tickets, the vice presidential debate was already consequential – with both running mates seen as presidents in waiting. But with Trump in isolation at the White House -- after spending...

Joe Biden says he and Donald Trump shouldn't have a debate as long as the president remains positive for coronavirus and tells the commander-in-chief to get off Twitter after his flurry of tweets from the White House. Biden said Tuesday that he's 'looking forward to being able to debate him', but we're going to have to follow very strict guidelines'. Trump returned to the WH on Monday after 3 days of treatment for COVID-19.

Former Vice President Joe Biden said Tuesday he and President Trump should not go ahead with next week's presidential debate if Trump still has COVID-19. Biden, who clashed with Trump at a chaotic first debate last week, told reporters at an airport in Hagerstown, Md., that the pair's second scheduled face-off should follow protocols from health officials. The former vice president said he will ultimately be guided by the Cleveland Clinic, which is overseeing health conditions for all presidential and vice presidential debates this year. “I think if he still has COVID, we shouldn’t have a debate,” Biden said of...

Chris Wallace from FOX News — a major Trump hater, was a complete disaster. Wallace jumped in the ring to assist Joe Biden like a tag-team teammate on Wrestlemania. And Wallace blocked any unkind words of Joe Biden or the Biden crime family. Kristen Welker from NBC, another far left Trump-hater and Steve Scully from C-SPAN will moderate this year’s debates. Wallace is a complete anti-Trumper. he completely took sides, jumped into the debate and humiliated himself and the FOX News channel with his horrible bias and lies. The far left FOX News host ruined FOX News Sunday and made...

Second presidential debate moderator’s pro-Biden, anti-Trump bias revealed Critics have raised doubts that Scully will be objective in light of his background and social media history, starting with his past association with Trump’s opponent, former Vice President Joe Biden October 2, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – As much as they disliked Fox News host Chris Wallace’s performance as debate moderator for perceived left-wing bias, conservatives are bracing for the next debate to be even more hostile to President Donald Trump, based on the background of the next moderator, C-SPAN political editor Steve Scully. Critics have raised doubts that Scully will be objective...

Perhaps the people at Fox News as it veers further to port need to have their cognitive abilities tested, not Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, whom they increasingly shill for, judging by the performance of debate moderator and Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace. The conventional wisdom is that Wallace lost control of the debate but a closer look shows he knew exactly what he was doing, that he was on a mission to be 2020’s, Candy Crowley. During the 2012 presidential debate between Willard Mitt Romney and Barack Hussein Obama, CNN’s Candy Crowley corrected GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney...

Now that President Donald Trump is undergoing treatment for the Wuhan coronavirus at Walter Reed Medical Center, most Americans are wondering what the diagnosis means for the second presidential debate, which was originally scheduled for Oct. 15. "Any reason to believe the debate doesn't happen? Anything going forward that you think change?" Pete Hegseth, one of the co-hosts of "Fox and Friends" asked on Saturday. According to Trump's Deputy Campaign Manager David Bossie, another debate will take place as soon as President Trump recovers. It just means the date may have to shift a day or two. “The debates are...
