The final debate of the 2020 US presidential election will be held at 9:00 p.m. local time on October 22 (9:00 a.m. Beijing time) at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee. This is because the current president and Republican presidential candidate trump was infected with the new coronavirus and cancelled the second debate originally scheduled to be held on January 15. Trump once again started a direct confrontation with Biden, the Democratic presidential candidate.

    According to the "Capitol Hill" report on the 22nd, trump has been "venting personal discontent" and "attacking political opponents" in the last few weeks before the presidential election. However, as Trump's poll approval rating declined, his campaign expressed the hope that he could use the last debate to "challenge" Biden on foreign policy and attack the negative news about Biden and his son, hunt Biden, related to Ukraine. According to the associated press report, the Biden team expects trump to be very "personal" in the debate to distract people's attention from the new coronation epidemic and race issues.

    In addition, how Biden will deal with the negative news related to Ukraine is also the focus of media attention. According to the previous report, an American newspaper published "strong material" on the 14th, saying that "conclusive evidence" was found to have caught Biden's secret communication with Ukraine. Since then, trump has also intensified his attack on Biden on this issue. It is not clear how Biden will respond to the attacks, but Biden's campaign aides said they wanted to focus on the trump administration's ability to respond to the epidemic, which is "one of the biggest weaknesses" of Trump's campaign, the Capitol Hill reported.

    In addition, whether trump can abide by the "Silence" rule is also the focus of media attention. Earlier, organizers of the debate announced new rules that one candidate's microphone would be silenced in part of the final debate to prevent interruptions from the other. CNN reported that past performance showed that trump "lacked self-control" and could not "quietly stand by" and that if he really tried to interrupt, Trump's voice could be heard through Biden's microphone even if the microphone was muted. However, the Capitol Hill reported that trump has been "enthusiastic" for a long time to "maintain dialogue" with the host and competitors, and the moderator of this debate will undoubtedly "face great pressure".

    According to previous reports, the final debate will be presided over by Christine Welk of NBC, focusing on six themes, including "fighting the new coronavirus", "American family", "American race", "climate change", "national security" and "leadership".
