Both failed the task: how the Trump-Biden debate influenced Americans Anzhelika Galesevich

Joe Biden and Donald Trump held their pre-election televised debate. The first received the support of 33% of Americans, the second – 67%. Although both one and the other failed to cope with the tasks set by their political strategists.

This opinion 24 Channel was expressed by expert of the Foreign Policy Council “Ukrainian Prism” Alexander Kraev. The poll determined who looked better in the debate. However, this does not at all indicate the result of the upcoming US presidential elections.

What tasks did political strategists set for Biden and Trump

According to Kraev, Joe Biden had one very simple task – not to look as old as his competitor portrays him. Since Donald Trump has constantly stated that Biden allegedly has dementia and is not fit to serve as president.

Although Trump himself is not without sin. Over the past two weeks, I have made more than 60 slips: I forgot the names of people with whom I have been working for a long time; didn’t remember where he was performing; did not compare facts and so on.

You need to understand that the information campaign against Biden regarding his age and inability to hold the office of president was waged for a very long time. He could even prove without exhaustive phrases that this was not true, but Trumpian propaganda. However, he did not cope with this even minimally.

And Trump’s victory at the debate is not absolute. The political strategists had a simple request for him – to play a normal person, an average politician, in order to please independent voters. To reach those who are afraid of his unpredictability and harshness.

After all, those who support him will continue to do so. But he also failed at the task. That’s why it’s true: Biden lost the debate, but Trump didn’t win it,” stated Alexander Kraev.
