Joe Biden, the Democratic candidate for US president, beat current US President Donald Trump during the first presidential debates.
Trump’s performance was unconvincing: his former charisma evaporated, the jokes were feeble, and the topics discussed were irrelevant. In addition, Biden’s evident victory over the president in the debate was proven by financial indicators. Thus, the Democratic candidate received nearly $10 million from 215 thousand donors during the presidential debate that lasted from 9 pm to midnight. In just one hour, Biden's campaign brought in $3.8 million. In August, Joe Biden raised $365 million while Donald Trump collected only $154 million. However, the size of donations does not necessarily mean victory. Thus, in 2016, Hillary Clinton raised and spent more money on her presidential campaign than Trump did. Yet, she lost the election. Anyway, this is a clear warning to the American leader.
One of the most remarkable moments during the debate was Biden's disclosure of his income. The Democratic presidential candidate not only released his tax return but urged his opponent to do the same. According to the document, Biden and his wife Jill made $985,233 in taxable income last year and paid $299,346 in federal income taxes.
