¿Convertirá Biden a EEUU en una Venezuela como lo afirma Trump?

Michael Shifter participó en una conversación con Pedro Vargas Núñez, editor de Portafolio. Entre los temas centrales estuvieron el análisis del primer debate presidencial y los efectos de la crisis sobre los resultados de recientes encuestas electorales. También se discutió acerca de cómo la campaña de Trump trata de instaurar la imagen de Biden como socialista y sobre las acciones que cada candidato podría tomar en el último tramo de las elecciones para así ganar la mayor cantidad de votantes indecisos.
