A Rough Start for Biden in 2024 Debate Against Trump
The first debate between President Joe Biden and Donald Trump of 2024 took place on Thursday, with Biden delivering a poor performance that was heavily criticized. Despite the high stakes of the debate for Biden, he appeared visibly frail and struggled to articulate his thoughts cohesively.
From the start of the debate, it was evident that there was a sense of weakness in Biden’s demeanor. Responding to questions from the moderator, he appeared out of breath, often slurring his words and making nonsensical statements. Trump, on the other hand, took advantage of Biden’s weak performance by maintaining a calm and disciplined approach while taking jabs at the president.
One instance that highlighted Biden’s shortcomings was when he mistakenly stated that the US was the biggest producer of support for Israel. Trump seized this moment to mock Biden, further highlighting the stark difference in their performances during the debate.
Thursday’s debate was unique in that it was the earliest general election debate on record, with both men being the presumptive nominees of their respective parties. Key differences from previous debates included the absence of a studio audience, mics being cut when one person was speaking, and two commercial breaks.
It is important to note that this unfolding story is still developing, so please stay tuned for any updates on the debate between Biden and Trump as it progresses.
