“His dog whistles to white supremacy, when asked wher would he condemn white supremacy, he said - he didn't say a word. And n when I said, well, how about Proud Boys, which is a white supremacist group? He said, well, I just told m to stand down and stand ready. Stand down and stand ready, based on outcome of election?” Biden said.
He said Tuesday night debate was a wake-up call for all Americans.
“What I tried to do last night, I tried to speak directly into camera to American people, to talk about ir concerns, to talk about what's on ir mind, to talk about what I would do were I president,” he said.
Biden alleged that Trump has plans, ideas, and didn't express a single plan that he had about how he was going to move forward.

“It made me realise just how much is at stake. You kw, for 90 minutes he tried everything to distract, everything possible, and it just didn't work. But I hope this next debate is going to be in front of real-life people. It's going to be a town hall,” he said.
second debate is scheduled for October 15 in Miami, Florida. “I'm looking forward to it, and I hope we're able to get a chance to actually answer questions that are asked by persons in room. But God only kws what he'll do,” Biden said. As per RealClearPolitics, which keeps track of all major polls, Biden is leading national poll on an aver by 6.6 points and in battleground States by 3.5 points. Biden on Wednesday did campaigning through train ride in Ohio and Pennsylvania, two important battleground States.
“He t only attacked me constantly, and my family, but he attacked moderator. And again, on his tweets this morning or last night. I just hope re's a way in which debate commission can control ability of us to answer question without interruption,” he said refusing to speculate on what happens in second or third debate.
Biden urged his countrymen to go out and vote. “Show up. If you can vote early, vote early. Vote whatever way is most convenient for you, but vote. And if you show up in large eugh numbers, thing is going to change,” he said.
