A 'disorientated' Joe Biden put in a disastrous performance during a 90-minute head-to-head with Donald Trump, sending the Democratic party into total panic and raising the spectre that he could be replaced as candidate for the 2024 general election.
Joe Biden and Donald Trump went head to head in their first presidential debateJoe Biden and Donald Trump last night clashed during a chaotic first debate of the 2024 US election campaign.
He confused millions and billions twice, mixed up a 24 and 25 per cent rate of tax before losing his train of thought and desperately staring down at his notes. Trump hit back by noting Biden's son Hunter was convicted of three felonies related to a 2018 gun purchase. Trump and Biden were both asked about concerns about their ages. Biden is 81 and Trump is 78, giving them a combined age of 159.
The Republican candidate said Biden 'can't hit a ball 50 yards', but the Democrat hit back saying he had a handicap of six while he was vice president. Sources suggested that Biden was battling with a cold in the days before last night's debate - but had tested negative for Covid. A mass influx of migrants coming into the U.S. illegally across the southern border has led to a number of false and misleading claims by Trump.
There have been recent high-profile and heinous crimes allegedly committed by people in the country illegally. He said the idea of turning abortion laws back to states 'is like saying we're going to turn civil rights back to the states.'Trump said his presidency returned the issue of abortion to the people through state laws.
