That’s A Wrap!
Well, we weren’t tracking interruptions tonight, but maybe we should have.
Tonight was often disorienting and hard to follow. We’re still processing, honestly, what we just saw, especially considering it involved a number of norm-defying moments. Sometimes debates have been more split-screen discussions where the candidates aren’t terribly hard on each other. But that wasn’t the case tonight. Biden accused Trump of being “the worst president” ever, and vice versa. It’s unclear who really “won” the debate now, but to relive the blog in all its chronological glory, keep scrolling.
