Biden claims Trump is a president who has been generating racial hatred. Trump responds by citing the 1994 crime bill Biden helped pass, claiming that Biden has treated the Black community “about as bad as anybody in this country”.

Switching to the topic of the recent protests, Trump says he got riot-hit cities back under control, but in some places Democrats wouldn't let his administration do that.
