5 takeaways from Trump and Biden's dueling town halls

He said that the goal of the bill was "same time for the same crime" and that the core of the mistake was in "what the states did locally." Asked whether it was a mistake to support it, Biden said, "Yes, it was." His campaign said Biden was referring to a different bill from 1986 with that response.Moments earlier, Biden was asked by a young Black man why his demographic should feel motivated enough to vote for him — a question that cut to the heart of one of Biden's weaknesses: a lack of enthusiasm among young voters, including nonwhite millennial and Generation Z voters, who lean left but tend to be unreliable at the ballot box.Biden cited numerous policy proposals, such as making the criminal justice system more "fair," boosting funding for historically Black colleges and universities and helping Black Americans accumulate wealth by guaranteeing first-time homebuyers a $15,000 down payment.Biden gave his most extensive answer yet about the possibility of adding seats to the Supreme Court as Republicans move to confirm Trump's nominee, federal appeals Judge Amy Coney Barrett."It depends on how this turns out," he said, referring to the confirmation process in the Republican-led Senate and whether it is rushed through before Election Day.He said he's still "not a fan" of "court packing" because it could lead to a tit-for-tat escalation.
