This study described the linguistic aspects used by the presidential candidates on the 2019 presidential candidate debate. This study employed a qualitative descriptive method with heuristic analysis. The data was collected by examining the notes taking technique. The results point out that during the 2019 presidential candidates’ debate, both presidential candidates use language style, satire, allusion, tautology, and rhetoric.
