Biden- Trump Debate

During the first 2024 presidential debate, President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump sparred on various issues, including the economy, abortion, and immigration. The debate took place in Atlanta, with both candidates aiming to win over undecided voters in key battleground states. CNN anchors Dana Bash and Jake Tapper moderated the event. Polls leading up to the debate showed a close race, suggesting that Biden and Trump were nearly tied for the national popular vote. However, polls indicated that Trump had a narrow lead in most battleground states.

Both candidates used the debate to address concerns about their age. Biden faced backlash over his performance, with his voice sounding hoarse at times. Trump highlighted his own cognitive test results, questioning whether Biden could pass a similar test.

By CBS News’s count, Trump interrupted Biden a total of 73 times during the debate.

Biden failed to mitigate his biggest liability in his re-election bid, while Trump doubled down on his grievances and skipped opportunities to cover his vulnerabilities.
