Former President Donald Trump performed better than current President Joe Biden in the eyes of most viewers of America's first televised presidential debate. Former US President Barack Obama admitted that US President Joe Biden's performance against Donald Trump in the debate was 'bad'. However, he gave his support to Biden. Obama said on X, 'There are bad nights of debates. Trust me, I know.'
Obama endorses Biden
Former US President Obama wrote, 'But this election is an opportunity to choose a person who has struggled for the common people all his life and on the other hand there is a person who thinks only about himself. There is a person who speaks the truth, who knows right from wrong, and there is another person who lies for his own benefit. Nothing changed from last night (presidential debate) and because of this there is a lot at stake in November.
Most people thought Trump was the winner
Former President Donald Trump outperformed current President Joe Biden in the eyes of most people who watched the first televised presidential debate in the United States, according to the AP. This is in stark contrast to the situation in 2020, when debate watchers saw the Democrat (Biden) as a better candidate than his Republican rival Trump.
Biden's fitness and age are big issues
81-year-old Biden, who is trying for a second term in the White House, appeared to be faltering during the debate. This has raised alarm bells among senior Democratic leaders about whether the outgoing president can remain on top in the difficult months before the election. Let us tell you that 78-year-old Trump is not much behind Biden in terms of age, but Biden's fitness and age have become a big issue in this election.
The debate between Trump and Biden lasted for 90 minutes
On Thursday, there was an aggressive debate between the two leaders for about 90 minutes regarding the elections to be held on November 5. Meanwhile, a clash was seen between Biden and Trump on the economy, immigration, foreign policy, abortion and national security. This debate took place when Biden and Trump have not been officially declared as presidential candidates by their parties. The Republican Party will call its convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin from July 15 to 18 to select its presidential candidate, while the Democratic Party will hold its convention in Chicago on August 19.
