During the first presidential debate of the 2024 election cycle, former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden clashed on multiple topics including abortion, the economy, and foreign policy. Trump made false claims about post-birth abortions, which Biden rebutted as 'simply not true,' emphasizing that no state allows the execution of a baby after birth. Trump touted his role in overturning Roe v. Wade, arguing abortion should be left to the states, while Biden reaffirmed his support for Roe. Biden criticized Trump's economic record and condemned his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Both candidates faced scrutiny over their cognitive abilities, with Biden occasionally losing his train of thought and Trump being called a 'convicted felon' by Biden. Despite the contentious exchanges, Biden received chants of 'four more years' at a subsequent rally.
