TV DUEL: Trump triumphs! Kirschbaum "It hurt how bad Biden was!" Democrats horrified!
US President Joe Biden put in a shaky performance in the first TV debate against his challenger Donald Trump, raising doubts about his suitability for the office. The televised debate on Thursday evening (local time) was seen as a test for the 81-year-old Democrat. During the 90-minute exchange of blows, Biden regularly floundered, speaking indistinctly, quietly and in a raspy voice. At times it was difficult to follow the most powerful man in the world. Although Biden came down hard on his opponent Trump, he came across as powerless and on the defensive. As usual, the Republican attacked Biden with aggressive rhetoric and repeated old accusations and lies. However, this was less important due to Biden's weak performance.
Biden is running for a second term in the presidential election in early November. The 78-year-old Trump wants to return to the White House for the Republicans. Polls suggest a neck-and-neck race between the two. The advanced age of the opponents is a constant theme in the election campaign. The TV duel heralded the hot phase of the US election campaign and was hosted by CNN in Atlanta in the US state of Georgia. Biden and Trump were not allowed to use cheat sheets during the exchange of blows and had to speak freely. The debate took place without a studio audience. The microphone of the respective presidential candidate who was not speaking was muted.
Biden had prepared intensively for the debate and had not made any public appointments in the week before the duel. According to US media, he had a cold, but a coronavirus test is said to have been negative. During the TV spectacle, Biden and Trump were questioned by the moderators on a range of topics. The two politicians answered questions on economic policy, abortion, migration and also had to comment on international crises such as the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine and the Middle East conflict.
