Im frances rivera. And im phillip mena. 11 days until the election and the final president ial debate is in the books with it a chance for both candidates to make their case to undecided voters much to relief of americans everywhere, last nights showdown remained much more restrained compared to the first debate thanks in part to the moderator, nbcs own Kristen Welker there was none more stark than how theyre going to handle the coronavirus pandemic. Were fighting it and were fighting it hard it will go away, and as i say, were rounding the turn, were rounding the corner. Its going away. 20,000 americans dead if you hear nothing else i say tonight, hear this anyone whos responsible for not taking control, in fact, not saying i take no responsibility initially, anyone whos responsible for that many deaths should not remain as president of the United States of america. Were learning to live with it we have no choice. We cant lock ourselves up in a basement like joe does. He says, you know, were learning to live with it people are learning to die with it you folks at home will have an empty chair at the Kitchen Table this morning. And with the economy reeling from the pamds, both laid out a vision for a path toward recovery. They stay the stockmarket will boom if im elected if hes elected, the stockmarket will crash. Let me move on to the next question very quickly. Look, the measure that the stockmarket is booming is the only thing hes looking at what happens to the people out there, the ordinary people what happens to them 401 k s are through the roof. In 2016, an immigration crackdown helped carry trump to the white house. And yesterday a policy took center stage in one of the most heated moments. The United States cant locate the patients of more than 500 children, so how will these families ever be reunited the children are brought here by coyotes around really bad people. How will they be reunited with their families . Were trying very hard. Now they cant find over 500 sets of those parents, and those kids are alone, nowhere to go, nowhere to go. Its criminal. Its criminal. I will say this, they went down we brought reporters, everything theyre so well taken care of. And in one of the more revealing moments of the night, both candidates were asked why they decided to run for the white house in the first place i ran because of you, because of barack obama. If i thought you did a good job, i would have never run i ran because of you im looking at you now youre a politician. I ran because of you. You know who i am you know who he is you know his character you know my character. You know my reputation is for honor and telling the truth. Im anxious to have this race. Im anxious to see this take place. I am character of the country is on the ballot. The question now is was last nights performance enough to win over any undecided voters. O our capitol Hill Reporter tracie potts has more tracie, where do they go from here physically is tthe president l stay down there. Joe biden is heading back. In terms of the race and where we go in the next 11 days, both candidates have got some work to do to win over still undecided voters, even though more than 45 Million People around this country have already cast their ballots. Thats 90 of their early vote total from 2016. One of the things we heard last night was President Trump trying to pin down joe biden on whether or not he would get rid of jobs in the oil industry. Would you close down the oil industry i would transition from the oil industry, yes. Oh, thats a big statement. It is a big statement. Why would you do that because the oil industry pollutes significantly. I see thats a big statement. Well, if you let me finish the statement, because it has to be replaced by Renewable Energy over time. Thats the biggest statement in terms of business because basically what he ees saying is hes going to destroy the oil industry will you remember that texas pennsylvania, oklahoma, ohio we need to get to the final question Vice President biden. He takes everything out of context. Look, we have to move toward a net zero emissions. Now, afterward biden clarified with reporters were not getting rid of fossil fuels. Were getting rid of the subsidies of fossil fuels, the federal subsidies to those companies, and that brings us to this 11day mark when both candidates are back hitting the campaign trail, trying to convince the lastminute undecided voters go their way.
