The Facts
US Pres. Joe Biden and former Pres. Donald Trump squared off in their first debate ahead of the 2024 election Thursday night in Atlanta, Georgia.
They discussed issues ranging from Biden's age and how Trump dealt with Jan. 6 to immigration and the wars in Gaza and Ukraine.
The Spin
Pro-Trump narrative
As Donald Trump appeared more statesmanlike than ever before, Biden exposed his mental decline and inability to win re-election. While the left-wing mainstream media couldn't help but dish out bogus fact-checks on Trump, even they were publicly decrying Biden's performance and fitness for office. Even if they do replace Biden, Trump proved he can take on anyone the Democrats throw at him.
Anti-Trump narrative
Biden's performance is irrelevant to the fact that Trump lied about every issue Americans care about most. From abortion rights and terror attacks to the national debt and Biden's corruption allegations, Trump projected all the failures of his administration onto a man who's made the country more prosperous and safe. The country knows Trump is a liar, which is why he's losing this election race.
Narrative C
President Biden has done an incredible job bringing America back to the positive days of pre-Trumpism, but last night's debate showed, unfortunately, that he can't physically continue. The Democratic Party and its leader must put the country first if they wish to prevent another dreadful Trump term.
