Biden stumbles answering question on national debt

President Joe Biden and his Republican rival, former president Donald Trump, met for a historic first 2024 presidential debate on Thursday in Atlanta.

The debate offered an unparalleled opportunity for both candidates to try to reshape the political narrative.

Biden and Trump entered the night facing fierce headwinds, including a public weary of the tumult of partisan politics.

With just over four months until Election Day, their performances have the rare potential to alter the trajectory of the race.

[Rashomon]

Raise taxes… or we could just NOT GIVE BILLIONS TO UKRAINE!!!

[WhiteLeper]

We’ll be right back after this Biden bathroom break

[magbisflores]

He’s stumbling and mumbling just to say we finally beat Medicare. Hahhaha

[wesleydelano]

“Making sure that we can make every single solitary person el eligible for what I’ve been able to do with, they uh, with with with the covid, excuse me with, um, dealing with everything we have to do with, uh, … look…………..if…we finally beat Medicare”

Trump won this debate hands down and I did not even need to see the debate to help me decide. If you did, I hope you actually used your own eyes and ears to see and hear what was happening rather than rely on CNN's "commentary". #BlacksForTrump #Trump2024

He's hopped up on some kind of drug! Hunter gave him coke or something! He's real nervous and talking faster than his usual bumbles!

[zdravkoknezevic]

Joe go home, you don’t know what you talking about.

[MegaSmarty]

the thing is you can tax billionaires 100% and the average Joe will still pay more taxes

[Fatma-mxcc]

What a joke, this is what America has come down to? That’s pretty bad!

[joev]

WTF was that? I'm sorry Trump may be an ass but at least he's coherent

[jackdougherty]

And that was the moment that they were afraid might happen !

[mostlysunny]

Joe been stumbling since the beginning bell. Lmao

[flashpest]

Poor Joe, he's just too old and worn out to go on. This is scary shit - we have no options for a president. Both of these guys are disastrous for America

[paulevans]

And that was probably his most coherent answer all night.

[joesmith]

Huh we have trillioniares in America now? Can you name ones single trillionaire because i know Elon musk isn't one nor is Jeff Bezos... so who is he talking to

[growabit]

Hey look he is perfect representation of all that voted for him. I must say everytime I to talk to his voters I think there just as cunning, intelligent, thoughtful and articulate.

Perfect representation of his voters and his ethics

[jeanghiberti]

So painful to watch Biden make a pitiful stumbling, stuttering mess of himself. The country can’t survive 4 more years of him.
