<p>President Donald Trump and challenger Joe Biden's final debate on Thursday was a starkly more civil affair than their messy first showdown.</p>.<p>But that did not prevent the pair from clashing on everything from immigration to racism and even Adolf Hitler.</p>.<p><strong>Here is a look some of the key moments of debate:</strong></p>.<p>With the pandemic at the top of American voters' minds, Biden pledged to get a handle on the virus that has killed over 220,000 in the US -- while charging that "anyone who's responsible for that many deaths" should not remain president.</p>.<p>"We're about to go into a dark winter.
