Mr Biden mocked the president for his comments on “injecting bleach” and Mr Trump responded that he had been “kidding” about that. The candidates then moved onto healthcare with Mr Trump claiming Mr Biden supported getting rid of private healthcare in favour of “socialised” healthcare. On climate Mr Trump claimed that Mr Biden and the Democrats wanted to spend $100 trillion on the Green New Deal and that it would force buildings to be constructed with “tiny little windows.” Mr Biden laughed out loud and said he had no idea where the president was getting the figures from. During the debate Mr Trump accused Mr Biden of having houses “all over the place” as he claimed the former vice president has received money from foreign nations.
