Mock Super Tuesday Presidential Debate 2020

2020 is a US Presidential election year. To coincide with the contest the Politics Society held a mock Presidential debate, a tradition that has been going as far back as 2004. The pupils were able to arrange their debate on Tuesday 3 March which of course in the US was Super Tuesday. No fewer than 14 US States held their primaries on that Tuesday, including the two most populous: California and Texas.

A crowd of 120 students, teachers and support staff from the two Habs Elstree school attended the debate at lunchtime in the school library. It covered several issues including the US economy, women’s rights, gun control, climate change, impeachment and healthcare. We would congratulate the students who took a leading role in the debate for a lunchtime of high-quality political discussion and argument. Oliver and George were the Chairs.
