Tuned in to @Debate_Mate x @hmtreasury debate! 'THBT we should all pay equally to protect the planet.' Great to see students going up against Treasury experts discussing the role of economic policy in the climate crisis - what an event!

Insightful and important take from the economist today: 'A politics that reinforces immutable identities leads away from the tolerance and forbearance a democracy needs to solve social conflicts.' https://t.co/zymteNGmP7

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

America, I’m honored that you have chosen me to lead our great country.

The work ahead of us will be hard, but I promise you this: I will be a President for all Americans — whether you voted for me or not.

I will keep the faith that you have placed in me.

Trump may call him 'Sleepy Joe' but one thing for certain is #Biden's marketing team is all over it. "Will you Shut Up, Man" t-shirts were being sold before the 90-minute debate had ended!

(9) The debate last night was worrying - a mixture of barracking, bickering, and false-assertions. This is why effective debating is such an important skill! Engage, tackle, critique, construct, but whatever you do, don't take tips from the #PresidentialDebate2020.

[Activate Debate @ActivateDebate]

The 1st Presidential Debate took place last night, this is our take on the notable moments. (A thread)

(8) #Wallace asks if #Trump will condemn white supremacists, Trump responds claiming this 'is a left-wing problem, not a right-wing problem.' Why did he not take such an easy opportunity to condemn white supremacy? #Debate2020

(4) Trump - 'the Sheriff of Portland came out today and said I support Trump'. This may be the most embarrassing for Trump, minutes after the debate, the Sheriff himself rebuked the claim and clarified he is not a Trump supporter. https://t.co/yqh3Ryshgb #Debates2020

[Mike Reese @SheriffReese]

In tonight’s presidential debate the President said the “Portland Sheriff” supports him. As the Multnomah County Sheriff I have never supported Donald Trump and will never support him.

[Activate Debate @ActivateDebate]

In the #PresidentialDebate last night, a number of claims were made. The moderator, #ChrisWallace, didn't serve as a fact-checker so this thread is going to fact check a number of claims made by both @realDonaldTrump & @JoeBiden . #Debates2020

(3) Trump - 'drug prices will be coming down 80 or 90 percent.' Since his first month in office, drug prices have risen by 3%. Without a radical new policy, which has not been announced, there is no reason why this trend would not continue. #Debates2020

[Activate Debate @ActivateDebate]

(6) Hunter Biden: #Trump attacks #Biden over 'his son receiving $3.5 million from the Mayor of Moscow's wife.' Wallace gets increasingly frustrated over the bickering that's stifling any real debate - they seem to have forgotten that they're against each other not their families

[Activate Debate @ActivateDebate]

(5) Economy: #Biden - 'you can't fix the economy until you fix the coronavirus.' The debate now comes down to priorities - individual liberty, economic recovery, or protection from #COVID19. #Debate2020
