Biden and Trump Spar in Atlanta

In a fiery first presidential debate, former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden clashed in Atlanta over a range of issues from policies to personal attacks. Trump aggressively attacked Biden, who fought back despite battling a cold. The debate was characterized by Trump's false claims and Biden's criticisms of Trump's character and past actions. Biden highlighted Trump's moral failings and controversial actions like overturning Roe v. Wade, while Trump focused on Biden's age and stumbles. The former president repeatedly dodged questions about accepting future election results, calling into question the fairness of the electoral process. The next debate is set for September 10.
