Biden appears to be struggling with his delivery but Trump is belligerent and is being fact-checked by the moderators. Trump is constantly bringing back the issue of illegal immigration to the conversation while sticking his neck out on what he claims are Biden administration's geopolitical setbacks in Ukraine and Gaza. 

There is no studio audience and according to the rules, microphones are being cut out when a candidate's speaking time is over. The candidates are appearing at a uniform podium. The duo have a pen, paper and bottle of water. They can neither use props nor the notes.
