President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden squared off in the second debate Thursday night.

Here are some of the highlights:

On COVID-19:

Trump: “We’re rounding the turn. We’re rounding the corner. It’s going away.”

Biden: “Anyone responsible for that many deaths should not remain president of the United States of America.”

On reopening:

Biden: “I’m going to shut down the virus, not the country.”

Trump: “We can’t keep this country closed. This is a massive country with a massive economy. There’s depression, alcohol, drugs at a level nobody’s ever seen before. The cure cannot be worse than the problem itself.”

On health care:

Trump: “I’d like to terminate Obamacare, ... come up with better health care, always protecting people with preexisting conditions.”

Biden: “We’re going to make sure we’re in a situation where we’re actually going to protect preexisting conditions. ... [Trump’s] never come up with a plan.”

Russia:

Trump: “There has been nobody tougher on Russia than Donald Trump.”

Biden: “I don’t know why this president is unwilling to take on [Vladimir] Putin.”

North Korea and its leader Kim Jong-un:

Biden: “He’s legitimized North Korea. He’s talked about his good buddy who’s a thug, a thug.”

Trump: “We have a very good relationship and there’s no war.”
