The Economy | First 2020 Presidential Debate

President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden clashed in a contentious first debate in Cleveland, Ohio, on Sept. 29. On the economy, Trump touted the faster-than-expected economic recovery and argued for reopening the country, saying: “People want their schools open. … People want their places open.” Biden said Trump’s push for reopening the economy is irresponsible because he hasn’t brought Republicans and Democrats together to provide funding for schools and businesses to pay for measures like masks and “sanitation.”
