Presidential Debates 2016 Topics
Viewers are supposed to hear about moderator questions for presidential debate 2016 prior to the first debate on Sept. 26.
At the last presidential debates in 2012, President Barack Obama went head on with former Gov. Mitt Romney and some of those same topics may be rolled over to the 2016 presidential debates. Moderator Jim Lehrer asked questions about the economy during the first presidential debates in 2012; a pressing topic in the 2016 presidential race.
“What are the major differences between the two of you about how you would go about creating new jobs?” Lehrer asked. He also asked a second question on the economy, focusing on the federal deficit and the federal debt.
Given recent terrorist attacks, the nation would be concerned about that topic and military powers. Moderator Bob Schieffer asked about the challenges of a changing Middle East and the “new face of terrorism,” at the last presidential debate in 2012.
Immigration may be a major topic given the number of undocumented immigrants in America, a changing economy that should reflect that and the increasing number of refugees looking to enter the U.S. due to conflict in their native countries.
The last presidential debate 2016 will be a town hall so we will not know what an audience member would ask but previous debates showed students asking questions regarding student debt.
