During the first presidential debate of 2024, President Joe Biden struggled to keep up with Donald Trump. The meeting was a high-stakes gamble for Biden, and it did not go as planned. From the start, Biden’s frail demeanor was evident, with him appearing out of breath and struggling to articulate his thoughts clearly.
As the debate progressed, Biden made several mistakes, including slurring words, omitting words, and delivering nonsensical phrases. One such instance was when he mistakenly stated that the US was the biggest supporter of Israel in the world. In response, Trump capitalized on Biden’s weaknesses, remaining calm, disciplined, and occasionally making jabs at the president.
The debate was different from previous ones in several ways. There were no studio audiences present, mics were cut when others were speaking, and two commercial breaks occurred. Despite these challenges, it was clear that Biden was not at his best during this early stage of the campaign. This developing story will provide updates on any changes or developments related to the debate as they become available.
