US Democratic Debate: Joe Biden & Trump's Impeachment draw spotlight

On October 15, Ohio’s Otterbein University witnessed a three-hour-long debate with Joe Biden and twelve other Democrats in a crowded presidential debate. The interesting turn was Joe Biden and the impeachment inquiry against Donald Trump taking the centre stage. Certainly, Washington's impeachment inquiry had taken a leap over the US politics overshadowing the Democrats, who have been desperately waiting for a breakout moment.

However, Donald Trump’s July 25 call to his Ukraine counterpart asking to investigate his political rival has put the spotlight on Joe Biden. The investigation was regarding unconfirmed charges that while Biden held the position of Vice President, he threatened to withhold US aid unless the prosecutor examining the case of the gas company in which Biden’s son was involved was fired. Biden, on the other hand, agreed to withhold the US power unless the prosecution lawyer was fired.
