Analysis of the Trump-Biden debate
Within hours of the meeting between the candidates, CNN has not yet reported their questions nor does it plan to verify data in real time. According to Kathleen Hall Jamieson, communication teacher at University of Pennsylvaniathe latter is one of the “problems” of doing a debate with Donald Trump.
According to the teacher, the former president is repeating without evidence that the 2020 election was stolen from him. However, “the moderators they cannot verify the facts in real time“In any case, for Jamieson it is better this way, since if he could check them “it would be very risky and would disturb the debate.” And he added: “The risk is that more than informing, The debate can multiply inaccurate information“.
The debate is expected to be followed and reach audience records just as happened between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, with 84 million viewers, or the 73 million of the first debate between Biden and Trump in 2020. However, it is the first time which is organized so soon, taking into account that There are still more than four months until the election.
“The risk is that the American public won’t pay much attention to current events over the summer,” Kathleen Hall Jamieson said on the topic. “In general, presidential debates do not affect a sufficient number of votes to decide the outcome of an election. But when it’s close, like this one, they play an important role.“, he added.
