The first U.S. presidential debate ahead of the 2024 election in November took place Thursday evening local time in Atlanta Georgia.
The event saw President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump sharing a stage for the first time since 2020.
Moderated by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Dana Bash the 90-minute debate began with economic concerns with President Biden accusing his Republican rival Trump of leaving him with a “terrible” economy to which Trump criticized Biden’s handling of the U.S. economy over the course of the pandemic.
The candidates continued to attack the other’s records on abortion immigration and foreign policy.
Trump also denied being responsible for the January 6 Capitol riots while Biden called Trump a convicted felon.
Political pundits for their part have raised concerns about the potential higher rise in the number of so-called “double haters” voters who like neither candidate.
This latest debate is the first of two such exchanges scheduled ahead of the November election.
