translated from Spanish: Debate: Trump and Biden exchanged coronavirus attacks

President Donald Trump and his Democratic rival Joe Biden faced off Thursday night in the last presidential debate, which looked like the leader’s best chance to change the course of the contest just 12 days into the election. The Nashville debate offered the two candidates a final national stage to outline their contrasting visions for a country besathed by a growing pandemic that has cost more than 225,000 Americans and millions of jobs to live. The night began with a confrontation over the president’s handling of the pandemic, which, according to the polls, is a key issue among voters, and on which Biden declared, “Anyone responsible for so many deaths should not remain president of the United States.” Trump defended his handling of the worst public health crisis in the country in a century, downplaying Biden’s warning that the country is “expecting a dark winter” due to an uptick in infections. The representative promised there will be a vaccine ready in a few weeks.” This will go away,” Trump said, sticking to his optimistic assessment of the pandemic. “We’re turning the page around. We’re leaving it behind. He’s leaving.” In other words, U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday defended his administration’s practice of separating migrant children who remain away from their families after being detained on the U.S.-Mexico border during the presidential debate with rival Democrat Joe Biden, Trump said that children crossing the border are usually not accompanied by their relatives , but “by coyotes and many bad people.” The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) told a judge this week that there are still 545 minors separated from their parents since 2018.Trump said his administration has built more than 640 kilometers (400 miles) of the border wall he promised. He added, “They built cages,” referring to President Barack Obama-era facilities that were shown during press reports of separations. Biden refuted Trump’s response, saying the children “were taken from” their relatives in 2018 and accused Donald Trump thursday of conducting a “criminal” policy by separating migrant children from their parents, a strategy the representative used in 2018 but had to suspend in the face of a wave of outrage.” Those kids are alone, with nowhere to go. That’s criminal,” Biden said in the last debate before the presidential ones regarding the revelation that there are still about 545 children separated from their parents.
