Local lawmakers watching Presidential debate

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - Yuma County Supervisor Tony Reyes and Arizona Representative Tim Dunn both tuned into the debate Thursday night with some mixed opinions.

“It was a rambling bumbling debate, rambling in the case of Trump, and bumbling in the case of Biden, that, again, didn’t change many peoples minds," said Supervisor Reyes.

“President Trump did a great job I think he remained calm, I would have liked him to have more policy discussion on moving our country forward," said Rep. Dunn.

Both Reyes and Dunn agreed on wanting to see more from President Biden.

“This wasn’t what I wanted let’s put it that way and I don’t think every democrat that watched this was reassured that we had chosen the right candidate so it wasn’t a commanding performance," said Supervisor Reyes.

“I was wanting to hear some solutions and some suggestions on how we’re going to get out of the Biden economics that we have and I didn’t hear any of those it was back and forth a lot of blaming," said Rep. Dunn.

Reyes says in a debates like this, it's hard for anyone, even the president to argue with Trump.

“It’s tough to debate against a guy that lies so much especially like Trump does, so it’s tough to debate that way I mean it isn’t really debatable," said Supervisor Reyes.

While Tim Dunn feels potential voters witnessed a clear difference between the two candidates.

“Two things the American people saw the cognitive differences in the ability between President Trump and President Biden but I just think no solutions being offered," said Rep. Dunn.

The next debate is set to take place in September.
