President Trump Interviews with US Media
Biden Suddenly Performs Well in Presidential Debate with Sanders
Three US Presidential Debates Scheduled

[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] U.S. President Donald Trump suggested a doping test to Democratic presidential candidate former Vice President Joe Biden regarding the presidential candidate debates. He claimed that Biden's debate skills suddenly improved during the Democratic primary process, which seemed suspicious.

On the 26th (local time), President Trump said, "I never thought Biden would be nominated as the presidential candidate because he was so bad at debating," adding, "He did the best against Senator Bernie Sanders, so let's do a drug test."

President Trump said, "I couldn't understand how Biden was so bad at debating, but suddenly he got better when he debated Senator Sanders."

Although President Trump mentioned doping and implied the possibility of Biden's drug dependence, he did not provide concrete evidence. He said he only observed the difference.

President Trump has previously argued for a mental evaluation of Biden, citing verbal mistakes. It is noteworthy that Trump, who had previously made dismissive remarks, mentioned the possibility of doping while commenting on Biden's debate skills.

Regarding this, Biden's camp has not issued an official response.

Meanwhile, the full-scale U.S. presidential election will proceed after President Trump's acceptance speech on the 27th. Due to the special circumstances of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) this year, there are many restrictions on campaigning, making the importance of debates more prominent than ever.

President Trump and candidate Biden will hold their first TV debate on the 29th of next month at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. Subsequently, debates are scheduled for October 15 in Miami, Florida, and October 22 at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee, totaling three debates.
