The presidential debate hosted by CNN between President Joe Biden and ex-President Trump on Thursday night was much anticipated, as the country is at a crossroads facing numerous challenges. The debate is crucial in helping voters decide which path to take in November’s elections.
Both candidates brought their policies and plans to the forefront during the debate, with Biden emphasizing his traditional internationalist foreign policies and Trump doubling down on populist isolationism. Trump’s proposals, if implemented, could drastically transform American governance.
Trump’s first term and his second term proposals show a shift in the Republican Party towards a more working-class orientation, although his policies still tend to favor richer Americans. Biden, on the other hand, has a robust policy machine focused on reshaping the economy, creating jobs, lowering health care costs, and fighting climate change, among other issues.
The debate highlighted the stark differences between the two candidates and their visions for the country’s future. It is now up to the voters to decide which path they believe will lead to a better future for America.
