First mention of China virus already
Trump promises a vaccine within weeks
When pressed about companies working on vaccines potentially available within weeks, Trump mentions J&J. They had to halt their trials because of problems and illnesses.
Take a drink if you had Biden’s “c’mon” on your bingo card
Trump has brought up Biden’s basement
Trump is really playing up him catching COVID-19 as a win
Biden is talking directly to Americans thru the camera again. Trump said we’re learning to live with COVID-19. Biden said no, “we’re learning to die with it”.
Trump: China’s fault
Trump: “Nancy… was dancing on the streets in China Town”
Welker: “Do you want to respond to that, Mr. Vice President”
Biden: “No.”
Biden: “No.”
At least it’s been civil this far. No shouting and no interrupting.
Trump: “Businesses are dying, Joe. You can’t do this to people.”
As 220k people have died. But restaurants closing is something we can’t do to people?

Trump: “We don’t need money, we have plenty of money.”
Trump: “Biden got $3.5M from Russia.”
Biden’s face: “wtf???”

Someone needs to make that face a GIF ^^^
On Trump’s demeanor and strategy: https://twitter.com/gabbyorr_/status/1319451225046265859
Trump: “I’m under audit, we’ll release them as soon as we can”
Biden makes a good point and laughs at his own joke https://twitter.com/gabbyorr_/status/1319456228687421447
Biden’s stutter is coming out. It isn’t a sign of dementia, it isn’t verbal gaffes, and it certainly isn’t funny. It’s a stutter and that’s it.
BIDEN: “Nobody should go to jail because they have a drug problem. They should be going to rehabilitation.”
Objectively a strong angle of attack https://twitter.com/gabbyorr_/status/1319462408331661312
Trump is bringing up the “pigs in a blanket, fry 'em like bacon” chants https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/02/politics/fact-check-trump-pigs-blanket-black-lives-matter/index.html
BIDEN: *shakes head while laughing as Trump rambles on because he didn’t get a joke* “oh god”
TRUMP, striking an (albeit uneducated and misguided) chord with many voters: “it’s all talk and no action with these politicians”
BIDEN: *checks watch*
