President mumbled as ex-president avoided questions in a debate showcasing voters’ two main options in November
Donald Trump and Joe Biden during the first presidential debate of the 2024 election at CNN’s studios in Atlanta, Georgia, on 27 June.Donald Trump and Joe Biden during the first presidential debate of the 2024 election at CNN’s studios in Atlanta, Georgia, on 27 June., apparently sick with a cold, mumbled through the debate, failing to land otherwise well-crafted lines. Donald Trump, a prolific purveyor of falsehoods, repeatedly told lies and avoided answering tough questions.
If someone were reading a transcript of Biden’s remarks, some of his lines would sound smart and aggressive. But the delivery failed – and for a visual medium like TV, that’s critical. He failed to sell his signature accomplishments, like his infrastructure plan. On an abortion question, which should be one of Biden’s strongest assets for voters concerned about rolling back reproductive rights, Biden brought up girls killed by migrants – pivoting, for some reason, to one of his weakest areas.
When questions were posed that would require tough answers, like one about the January 6 insurrection, he deflected and talked about something he could attack Biden on.
