President Donald Trump, left, and Democratic presidential candidate former Vice President Joe Biden, right, during the first presidential debate Tuesday, Sept. 29, 2020, at Case Western University and Cleveland Clinic, in Cleveland, Ohio.

President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden faced off in Cleveland last night for their first debate.

It was less a debate than a 90-minute combative exchange full of interruptions and few ideas.

The pandemic upended some usual traditions, including no handshake and a small audience.

Today on All Sides with Ann Fisher, two Ohio State political scientists weigh in on the candidates’ performance.

Guests:

  • Paul Beck, academy professor of political science,
  • Wendy Smooth, associate professor of women’s gender and sexuality studies and political science,
