00:00And during this time, the American electoral campaign continues.

00:15We would almost tend to forget it, as the news is dense in our regions.

00:19The electoral campaign and its famous television duels,

00:22where the candidates for the supreme function, Trump-Biden or Biden-Trump,

00:27meet for the first time since the announcement of their candidacy.

00:30This during a debate organized by CNN in Atlanta,

00:34the first face-to-face since their last debate in 2020.

00:37Trump focuses on two topics, economy but especially immigration.

00:41Polls show that these issues concern voters.

00:44The former president criticizes Biden's migratory policy,

00:47accusing him of increasing illegal crossings at the border

00:51and favoring illegal entry.

00:53According to him, this approach has led to an increase in crime,

00:57although the statistics, however, do not support this statement by Trump.

01:01The Biden team responded by obtaining a frontal agreement with Mexico.

01:06It imputes the responsibility of the current migratory crisis to the Trump years.

01:10Biden attacks him on the issues of abortion, fundamental rights.

01:15Democrats impute to Trump the responsibility for the abolition of federal law

01:20on abortion by the Supreme Court.

01:22It was in 2022 that he criticized the prohibition of abortion in Arizona as well as in Florida.

01:28More generally, the Biden campaign team presents Donald Trump

01:32as a threat to democracy.

01:34He recalls his role in the capital riots in January 2021

01:37and accuses him of encouraging political violence.

01:41For now, Biden has generally been fairly measured in his comments

01:45on Trump's conviction in the Manhattan secret money case,

01:49although some Democrats have exhorted him to be more aggressive

01:53by qualifying Trump, I quote, as a criminal recognized guilty, etc.

01:58Well, it's a field on which the Biden team is not venturing.

02:02Maybe because it's still too early,

02:04maybe because they keep this side card,

02:07what poker players call the off,

02:10the discreet card that will be drawn at the last moment to win the bet.

02:15In any case, the campaign takes place,

02:17it rumbles, in a rather routine and convenient way,

02:20between these two men who know each other well,

02:22who are used to facing each other in the political ring.

02:25Democracy rumbles, I said it in the United States,

02:27it rumbles, but it fulfills its mission,

02:30that is, to offer the American people the freedom to choose between two men

02:34for the next tenant in the White House,

02:36Joe Biden or Donald Trump.
