Summary

  • Joe Biden gave a stumbling performance in a 90-minute showdown with Donald Trump - the first televised debate of the 2024 presidential election campaign

  • Democrats expressed concern at the president's performance - with party insiders saying his early answers triggered panic

  • But Vice-President Kamala Harris defended Biden, saying it "was a slow start, but there was a strong finish"

  • Trump repeatedly attacked Biden on the economy and his foreign policy record, while Biden took aim at his rival's criminal conviction and alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election

  • Trump also repeated falsehoods - from abortion, to taxes and the deficit - and at first avoided answering if he would accept the 2024 election result

  • Biden called Trump a "sucker", a "loser," and said he had the "morals of an alley cat"

  • Trump hit back, and said at one point: "I really don’t know what he said at the end of that sentence, and I don’t think he did either"
