In Thursday night’s debate, former President Trump relentlessly attacked President Biden, labeling him as ineffective and corrupt with frequent falsehoods and misleading statements. Trump accused Biden of being “weak,” corrupt, and responsible for a wave of immigrant crime, claims lacking evidence. He also falsely claimed Biden encouraged Russia to attack Ukraine. Despite Biden’s defensive stance, he managed a few counterattacks, accusing Trump of immoral behavior. The debate saw Trump capitalizing on Biden’s halting speech and criticizing his immigration policies and international leadership, including baseless allegations of corruption involving China.
