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".

Regarding Trump's
interruptions

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.

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.
