The race for the presidency of the United States is marked this October by the agenda of presidential debates, which begins this Tuesday.
On the horizon, four debates (three of the candidates for president and one of the candidates for vice president) that will be broadcast on all national networks from 9 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., New York time, without advertising cuts.
The first will be moderated by journalist Chris Wallace, one of
Fox News's
most respected figures
.
Wallace's chosen topics, in six 15-minute segments, are: Trump and Biden's background;
the Supreme Court;
the covid-19 pandemic;
the economy;
racial tensions and violence in cities;
the integrity of the electoral process.
Although the
New York Times
exclusive
on the non-payment of taxes by the president, Donald Trump, will surely modify the issues on the table.
But is it possible that the debates change the opinion of the voters in any significant way?
How can Trump turn the polls around, and what can Biden do to stay ahead?
The answer to this and other questions in this video in which the analysts Pol Morillas, director of CIDOB (Center for International Studies of Barcelona, for its acronym in English) participate;
Antoni Gutiérrez-Rubí, director of Ideograma, and Carlota García Encina, principal investigator at the Elcano Royal Institute in the United States and Transatlantic Relations.
The first debate is held at Case Western University in Cleveland, Ohio.
The scheduled appointments for the rest of the debates are October 7 (vice presidents), October 15 and 22, moderated by journalists from
USA Today
, C-SPAN and NBC, respectively.
