In what was an underwhelming and jarring debate, President Biden and former-President Trump squared off in the first presidential debate for the 2024 election.
This debate was earlier than most debates between presidential hopefuls. Typically, the first debate between presidential candidates occurs around September. The election is in November, and if you're undecided it's great to watch these events.
Biden appears to be sick and stuttered when answering a number of questions. This was a marked change from the 2016 presidential debate in which Trump and Biden were uncivil to each other. Both candidates for off track and became emotional when questioned about their stance and actions on Pandemic response, border policy and abortion rights.
I am looking forward to the next debate, and it was good to see Trump in fighting shape. Hot button issues including abortion were heavily emphasized. In America, wedge issues are usually LGBTQIA Rights, abortions, guns and the safety of the border.
Both candidates are ready for the next debate, and hopefully Biden will be in better shape when the debate occurs next. The popular consensus is that Trump won the first debate but the second will be more important as we will be closer to the election. Historically, the first debate can be thrown out and is seen as a warmup.
Did you see it? What was your take? Who won?
