The Commission on PresidentialDebates(CPD), the group that manages U.S. presidential election debates, pledged to take steps to ensure a more orderly discussion following a controversial and chaotic first debate between President Donald Trump and Democrat Joe Biden.

Tuesday's debate was aired from Cleveland, Ohio, and hosted by Chris Wallace of Fox News.

Trump was guilty of interrupting Biden several times with the latter pushing back by telling Trump to 'shut up and 'shush for a minute'.

"Last night's debate made clear that additional structure should be added to the format of the remaining debates to ensure a more orderly discussion of the issues,” the CPD said in a statement.

Trump also tried to talk over Wallace at times when being asked a question or pushing a point, such as accusations against Biden regarding Ukraine.

The CPD thanked Wallace for "the professionalism and skill he brought to last night's debate."

Wallace was forced to shout at the nominees on a number of occasions in order to maintain order and keep the debate running as planned. Wallace also criticized Trump for his constant interruptions reminding him that his campaign had agreed to a certain set of rules to adhere to during the debate.
