Trump Lies Throughout First Presidential Debate as Biden Delivers Fumbling Performance
President Biden and former President Trump took to the stage Thursday for their first debate of the 2024 election, hosted by CNN at its Atlanta headquarters. Over the 90-minute debate, Trump repeatedly lied and referenced misinformation as he blasted Biden’s immigration policies and inaccurately linked asylum seekers and immigrants to rising crime. Trump also falsely asserted Democrats have advocated for abortion legislation that would allow doctors to kill newborn babies. CNN moderators Jake Tapper and Dana Bash failed to challenge or fact-check Trump during the debate. President Biden was halting and disjointed, muffled his lines and often appeared to lose his train of thought. We’ll have more on this later in our broadcast.
