The final presidential debate was also the first in which the Presidential Commission on Debates had the power to mute one candidate while the other was speaking.
For the most part, however, the mute button was hardly used.
Body language expert Traci Brown believes President Donald Trump received better coaching since the first debate, noting his calmer demeanor and decreased interrupting.
“It’s pretty clear someone talked to him and said hey you need to be quiet,” Brown said. “You just have to say less. You’re going to do get more with doing less.”
Brown says former Vice President Joe Biden also seemed calmer than the first debate, but she said the discussion of immigration looked painful for him. President Trump tauntingly asked Biden, “Who built the cages, Joe?”
