The first presidential debate between President Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden resembled more of a shouting match than a structured exchange of ideas. Debate organizers say they are working on changes to ensure a more productive discussion for the candidates’ next encounter, but analysts say the chaotic outcome of their first meeting is also a reflection of the country’s deep political polarization. Also, following the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, the republican controlled senate is racing to confirm Amy Coney Barrett, President Trump’s pick for a replacement. Democrats are expressing outrage about voting on a nominee this close to an election when early voting in some states is already underway.
