During her impassioned speech, Goldberg notably avoided mentioning Trump by name. This incident came just days after she had visibly recoiled at using his name during another segment, remarking, "I said his name. It was a trick, and it made me do it. I’m just saying that Biden knows what not to do. You can’t refute that man because he just spins and spins and spins."

"He doesn’t listen to feedback, he doesn’t internalize, so I’m curious how he answers the tough questions," Griffin remarked, shedding light on Trump's approach to debate prep.
