Pressed for time and short of cash, President Trump confronted former Vice President Joe Biden tonight in their second and final debate as the incumbent’s faltering campaign seeks a last-minute comeback before election day.
Organizers of the debate were determined not to allow a repeat of the unruly last face-off between Trump and Biden, which devolved into an incoherent shouting match by Trump’s repeated interruptions.
