Later, as Biden singled out state restrictions on abortion, he confusingly pivoted to immigration and referred to a “young woman who was just murdered” by an immigrant. It was unclear what point he was trying to make.Trump was cruising through the opening of the debate when he suddenly stumbled over the question of how he would reassure voters that he would respect his oath of office after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Trump warned that the members of the congressional committee that investigated Jan. 6 could face criminal charges, as could Biden himself.Trump didn’t back down from his vow to seek vengeance. Coupled with his refusal to condemn the Jan. 6 attackers, it made for a stark moment. “As far as abortion's concerned it’s back to the states,” Trump said, contending the Founding Fathers would have been happy with the end of Roe. “Everybody wanted it brought back.”
But when it was his turn to speak, Biden stumbled through his explanation of Roe, which he said “had three trimesters" — a lost opportunity for the Democrat to make a strong rhetorical case on an issue vital for his party.
