Current President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump have attacked and counter-attacked each other in televised debates in the US presidential election. At this time, Biden attacked Trump for bribing porn stars. In response, Trump hit back at Biden’s son for lying about buying guns and using drugs. The US media CNN organized a presidential debate on Thursday (June 27) ahead of the November 5 election. They faced each other for the first time in four years. British news agency Reuters reported this news.
In the debate, Trump and Biden talked about various issues, including foreign policy, the war in Ukraine and Gaza, the economy, border issues, social security, child care, the attack on the Congress building and abortion. They accused each other of lying and tried to attack each other with harsh words.
Although he did not make much progress in the first half hour, Biden performed somewhat better in the second phase of the debate. He then attacked Trump for his criminal conviction of porn star Stormy Daniels. At the time, Biden also called the former president a ‘criminal’.
In response to the attack, Trump hit back at Biden for his son Hunter Biden’s conviction for lying about his gun purchases and drug use.
After that, Biden said that almost all members of the former cabinet, including former Vice President Mike Pence, did not support Trump’s campaign. He said, ‘They know him well. They worked with him. So why are they not supporting him?’
Meanwhile, Donald Trump has made some comments, most of which are not true, and he has repeated them for a long time. Among them, immigrants have caused a crime wave in the United States, Democrats support infanticide, and he won the 2020 election.
In the debate, both candidates were under pressure to prove themselves fit for the next term. Biden is questioned about his age and acuity. And Trump’s weaknesses were his inflammatory rhetoric and extensive legal problems.
Biden’s voice sounded hoarse as he spoke at the debate. Meanwhile, Biden’s allies were trying to project confidence. Two White House officials said Biden had a cold. So the voice sounded like that. But Biden’s poor performance in the debate, despite the president’s vindication, upset Democrats. It is feared that voters will consider the 81-year-old president too old to serve another 4-year term.
A top Biden donor, who did not want to be named, cast doubt on the president’s performance, calling him ‘incompetent’.
Vice President Kamala Harris appeared on CNN after the debate. He admitted that Biden did not have a good start. But he argued that voters should judge Biden and Trump by their actions while in office.
Kamala Harris told CNN host Anderson Cooper, ‘I’m not going to talk to you about the last 90 minutes. As I have been watching his performances for the past three and a half years.’
