US election 2020: TV duel sinks into chaos - now the concept is to be adjusted

The first of the three TV duels between Donald Trump and Joe Biden was dominated by chaos and personal attacks.

The mood?

At least poisoned.

Trump in particular interrupted his opponent Biden, but also

moderator Chris Wallace time

and again.

The tenor of the American press, however, is more than clear: “Trump bulldozes through the debate” or “The worst debate in memory”.

Even the Trump camp raged after the TV duel.

Now the organizers have announced changes to the

concept of the TV duels

.

The process made it clear that “the format of the remaining debates needs additional structure in order to ensure a regular discussion of the issues,” said the

Commission for Presidential

Debates

.

Joe Biden had expressed the hope that in the future only the speaker's microphone would be switched on.

Donald Trump's campaign team, however, criticized the plans and accused the commission of changing "the rules in the middle of the game".

TV duel between Trump and Biden: presenter Wallace "just sad"

Chris Wallace

, moderator of the

debate

and the conservative broadcaster Fox News, said that he was disappointed with the course.

With a more orderly process it could have been "a much more useful evening", as he told the

"New York Times"

on Wednesday

said.

"I'm just sad how last night turned out," said Wallace.

Regarding Trump's

interruptions

, he added that he did not realize “that this would be the president's strategy, not just for the start of the debate, but for the entire debate.

In the meantime, he thought: “I'm a professional.

I've never been through anything like this. ”

“ Desperation ”he felt when he asked the candidates to take fewer interruptions.

Finally, he got to the point: "I would never have dreamed that it would get so out of hand."

Trump and Biden: Rules should be changed - just turn off microphones?

Two more duels are planned for October 15 in

Miami, Florida

and October 22 in

Nashville, Tennessee

.

How exactly the rules of the debate will be changed is not yet known.

However, Chris Wallace spoke out against proposals to allow the moderators to turn off the microphones for the candidates in the next duels.

"In practice, even if his microphone had been turned off, the President could still have interrupted," he said.

Wallace advised the moderators of the next debate,

Steve Scully

from C-Span and

Kristen Welker

from NBC, to react faster than he did.

"I didn't have that warning," said Wallace.
