camera to the america people about their situation and then on the other hand you have an angry defensive donald trump who spent full time interrupting, attempting to bully the process including the moderator. >> he's had to watch his family be subjected to it and more importantly he still delivered for the american people. joe biden couldn't answer what he's done for the last 47 years. >> in october we expect to see two more presidential debates before election day. >> i can't imagine what those will be like based on last night. thank you. as the search for a coronavirus solution continues, a new study is shedding light on the effectiveness of one of the
