Biden's rambling answers went on without any interjections, while Trump's falsehoods went unchecked.
Share on email : CNN 's debate may be remembered as a turning point in the 2024 election, with Biden's fitness to serve another four years now being openly questioned even by some allies.: Muted mics made it difficult for Trump to interrupt Biden, which made him appear more measured than in previous debates.
Both campaigns agreed to that lower-interruption format, but it didn't seem to help the president as his lack of energy and clarity came into sharper focus. Under other formats, the debate could have turned into a quickfire sparring match with two candidates and two moderators all interjecting and a crowd roaring.on a panel last week that he wanted "an absolutely classic debate," akin to the historic first television debate ever between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon in 1960.
Fact-checking of smaller details, as well as major falsehoods, occurred in real time on CNN's digital properties and on air immediately following the debate.But for Americans who tuned in on television during the event only, Trump's repeated falsehoods were hardly disputed. CNN's format gave viewers an opportunity to watch the candidates have an unfiltered exchange for 90 minutes — over which time Biden's energy levels seemed to wax and wane.: It's unclear after Thursday's performance whether Biden will participate in the next presidential debate, slated to air on ABC in September.Share on twitter
