Donald Trump And Joe Biden Participate In First Presidential Debate CLEVELAND, OHIO - SEPTEMBER 29: Debate moderator and Fox News anchor Chris Wallace directs the first presidential debate between U.S. President Donald Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden at the Health Education Campus of Case Western Reserve University on September 29, 2020 in Cleveland, Ohio. This is the first of three planned debates between the two candidates in the lead up to the election on November 3.

Biden, the Democratic nominee, and Trump, the Republican nominee, had a chaotic, tensed 90-minute debate, as per Business Insider. Both candidates relentlessly talked over and insulted each other. Biden, the former vice president, Joe Biden, scolded Trump within the debate's first 20 minutes.

Biden told Trump, "Would you shut up, man?"

On the other hand, Trump continued to interrupt both Wallace and Biden for the rest of the presidential debate. At one point, Wallace jokingly suggested to switch places with Trump and be the one to moderate the debate. 

 Wallace told The Times about the debate that he was just disappointed with the results not only for Wallace but, more importantly, for the country as it could have been a more useful evening than it turned out to be.

During another one of their fires exchanges on Tuesday night, Biden went on to call Trump the "worst president that America has ever had." The first presidential debate earned criticism and worry from domestic and international viewers. 

The debate was called "a national humiliation" by The Guardian in the UK and described as "worrying for American democracy" by France's Le Monde.

Wallace was unconvinced in his interview with The Times saying, "I guess I didn't realize - and there was no way to hindsight being 20/20 - that this was going to be the president's technique, not just for the start of the debate but the entire debate."

The Fox News' reporter added that while he initially thought Trump directly speaking to Biden was setting an actual debate setting on the stage, Wallace became more worried when the Republican presidential candidate refused to back down. For Wallace, he believes he did his best and advised the moderators for the upcoming debates to be quicker in realizing what's going on than he was. "I didn't have that advance warning," Wallace admitted.

On Wednesday, The Commission on Presidential Debates said it would take steps to ensure the next debates are more civilly conducted. The sources tell CNBC the possibility to turn off a candidate's microphone if they violate debate rules being discussed. Wallace told the Times that he is against cutting the mics and warned doing so might result in blowback. He noted that "people have to remember, and too many people forget, both of these candidates have the tens of millions of Americans supoorting them."
