Here's the first question of the ABC #BidenTownhall -- an softball from a committed Democrat lamenting "the lack of coordinated federal action on COVID-19" from Trump.

In contrast, Trump's first question from a so-called GOPer saying he threw "vulnerable people...under the bus"
The second question is from a Republican who voted Trump in 2016 but undecided for 2020. She notes Kamala Harris's opposition to a coronavirus vaccine approved under a Trump administration, then asked whether he would take it and if he would mandate it.
FWIW --- second question for Trump a month ago was about a national mask mandate
Third question at the ABC #BidenTownhall came from what George labeled as a Trump voter in 2016, who asked Biden what his tax plan would be in light of his claim that he would repeal the Trump tax cut while claiming that people making under $400k wouldn't see an increase
Third question at Trump's last month was from someone who's never voted before and hit him from the left. Here was part of it: "Why would you downplay a pandemic that is known to disproportionately harm low income families and minority communities?"
Fourth #BidenTownHall question from a "progressive Democrat" student. Here's the heart of his question: "Besides you ain't black, what do you have to say to young black voters who see voting for you as further participation in a system that continues to not protect them?"
Again, going back to September with Trump, the fourth audience question was from a Trump 2016 voter who wanted to know: "[D]o you feel racial injustices are occurring in this nation and if so, what can be done to address them?"
Fifth audience question at ABC's #BidenTownhall from a 2016 Trump voter: "What is your view on the crime bill that you wrote in 1994, which showed prejudice against minorities? Where do you stand today on that?"

Fifth audience question last month for Trump was Pastor Carl Day...
Sixth audience question at the ABC #BidenTownHall gives Biden a boost in helping him to crack open the door to court-packing and, sure enough, that's exactly what he started to hint at.
BTW that question was from a Democrat.

Sixth audience member for Trump last month was a Hillary voter about his "plan to aid these workers who may not lose their jobs today, but in the months to come" due to the coronavirus pandemic
Seventh audience question was from a "disaffected Republican" who wrote in Kasich (and presumably will back Biden) asking about how he would "take the high road and attempt to restore bipartisan ship, civility, and honor to our democracy."

Trump's 7th question was Dr. Blaque....
Eighth audience question to Biden was from undecided "Republican who's voted for Democrats" voicing concern about fracking and wondering about what industries that wouldn't be "harmful to human health and the environment" would he bring to SW PA.

Trump's eighth was about unity.
9th Biden question was really good: "Peace is breaking out all over the world, our troops are coming home, Serbia is talking to Kosovo & the Arabs and Israelis are talking peace, which I believe is a modern day miracle. Does President Trump's foreign policy deserve some credit?"
Obviously, that question was from a "conservative" Trump supporter.

Trump's ninth ABC question was from someone who didn't vote for anyone in 2016 and brought up the "losers" and "suckers" comment to state it as a fact that he disparaged our troops (despite the denounciations)
ABC's ten #BidenTownhall question came from the mother of an eight-year-old transgender child asking for him to reverse Trump's "dangerous and discriminatory agenda and ensure that the lives and rights of LGBTQ people are protected under U.S. law" (even though #SCOTUS did that)
*tenth

The mother here hasn't voted before, btw.

A month earlier, Trump's tenth ABC question was the only question he faced from the right and it concerned the Defund the Police movement.
Biden's 11th and final audience question came from a Democratic voter who asked "how will you use your platform to urge President Donald Trump and those rallying behind him towards the ideals of a more perfect union" if he loses the election.

Trump's 11th was about immigration
Trump faced one additional question one month ago on ABC and it came from someone whom George Stephanopoulos never ID'd (in terms of an affiliation): "My question is, what has been the most difficult part of your presidency and what have you learned from it?"
