Fox News Digital is hosting a series of Debate Quizzes in preparation for the CNN Presidential Debate between President Biden and former President Trump. The second quiz focuses on surprising moments from U.S. debate history, testing knowledge on past events such as candidates checking their watches and using memorable phrases. Questions in the quiz cover topics like candidates backing out of debates and giving unconventional opening statements.
One question in the quiz asks about a candidate who famously checked his watch during a debate and later admitted to counting down the minutes until it ended. Another question refers to a primary debate incident in which Walter Mondale referenced an ad while talking to Gary Hart. The quiz also covers memorable moments like a candidate backing out of a debate because of the presence of a third-party challenger and a vice presidential candidate giving an opening statement questioning their presence.
The quiz delves into the viral phrase “binders full of women” and asks users to identify the candidate who made the statement. It also looks back at a historical debate moment involving Eleanor Roosevelt and Margaret Chase Smith, who debated as surrogates for presidential candidates. Another question tests knowledge about a candidate who told Hillary Clinton, “You’re likable enough,” during the 2008 primary debates. The quiz concludes with a question about a recent contentious debate moment in which one candidate told a rival to “shut up.”
Participants are encouraged to test their knowledge by taking the quiz and checking back for more quizzes in the future. The quizzes aim to entertain and educate users on past debate moments and famous quotes. With questions ranging from historical events to recent debates, the quiz offers a fun way to engage with political trivia and learn more about U.S. debate history. Participants can also download the Fox News app for more content and quizzes, with a new quiz set to be released on Thursday.
