And at a certain point he pulled out the ace, when he addressed the racial issue by putting on the table a topic never discussed by anyone: dialogue within African American families, that is, how parents deal with the racial issue with their children.
Biden, quickly changing his tone, admitted how different it is for a white family: “I never had to say to my daughter: ‘If the police stop you, stop, don’t move, put your hands on the wheel.’ But a parent black, no matter how rich or poor he is, he must give more precise directions, do not pull up the hood, if you are stopped you must immediately say ‘yes sir’ “. Trump responded with the usual message: “I have done more for blacks than all American presidents in history, except Abraham Lincoln,” but the theme of the “speech” between black parents and children marked the highest emotional moment in history. an evening considered decisive for the presidential race. And Welker proved to be up to it.

– The journalist read the questions, then confidently managed the rebound of the speeches, recalling the two-minute deadline “without interruptions”, always giving the challengers the opportunity to retort, clarify, raise, with Trump trying to get the last word.

During the recent electoral rallies, the president had called “terrible” and “deeply incorrect” Kristen, while some of the staff had advanced the hypothesis that she was a supporter of Biden. So the question on the eve was: would the reporter be intimidated? It didn’t happen.

A detail played in favor: Welker is a familiar face to Trump and Biden. A White House correspondent, 44, a Native American father, engineer, and African American mother, real estate agent, Welker covered Washington politics when Biden was vice president, and has met Trump frequently over the years.
