Why is there a toss before the debate?
There are usually two or three TV debates during the presidential election in America. Before these debates, a coin toss is conducted between the candidates of both parties. Through this toss, it is determined which participant will stand on which side (right or left) of the debate podium. Or who will give the closing remarks at the end of the debate. The toss before this debate has already taken place, which Trump has won.
Trump has won the toss and decided to give the closing remarks of the debate. This means that now Trump will speak last in the debate and after this the debate will end. Closing remarks are very important in the TV debate of the US presidential election. The candidate who speaks last can influence the audience in many ways.
With this, Kamala Harris got a chance to stand at her favorite place on the podium. Kamala Harris chose to stand on the right hand side of the podium. Let us tell you that Biden stood on the right hand side in the last debate.
