President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden clashed over how to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and the fate of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) during the first 2020 presidential debate Tuesday night.
The healthcare-heavy debate took place on the main campus of the Cleveland Clinic.
Trump mentioned that the U.S. is "weeks away from a vaccine," publicly disagreeing with the head of Operation Warp Speed.
On the future of the ACA, Biden said Trump is seeking to overturn the landmark healthcare legislation, adding that he is "not for anyone needing healthcare."
Trump and Biden debated the administration's response to the coronavirus outbreak, what the approach to the pandemic should be going forward, and what healthcare plan could expand coverage in an affordable way.
