USA Elections 2024: Who won the first debate, Trump or Biden?

This June 27, the first presidential debate was held in which the current President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump participated, who, despite not being officially named as candidates by their respective parties, have already garnered the minimum number of delegates required to receive their party’s nomination.

The event was held at the CNN studios, in Atlanta, Georgia, in a format that allowed us to maximize the time of the candidates, since they did not have an audience nor were they allowed to interrupt each other. This debate was moderated by Jake Tapper and Dana Bash.

Topics that were addressed in the debate

In this first debate a variety of topics were addressed. Both candidates were questioned, initially, about inflation and rising prices, as well as the tax measures that they plan to impose during their next mandate.

The issue of abortion, migration, as well as foreign policy was also addressed, the war between Russia and Ukraine, as well as Israel and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

The moderators also questioned the candidates about the storming of the Capitol, the challenges they could face if they became president again, as well as the climate crisis, Social Security, child care and the opioid crisis.

Additionally, both were questioned about one of the main concerns of voters: their age. In the case of Trump, the former president was also questioned about whether he would accept the results of the elections. After his answers and proposals, who won in the debate?

Who won the first presidential debate, Trump or Biden?

Post-debate polls take a few hours to come out, but some analysts indicated that Republican candidate Donald Trump took away tonight’s debate. According toThe Boston Globe Biden has earned an F grade, while Trump has earned a D.

Biden had a poorer performance, with ramblings, whispers and nonsensical phrases, while Trump was more energetic and without interrupting. However, both failed by not answering certain questions and sharing false data.

Although the candidates were questioned on different topics, on most occasions, both Trump and Biden chose to attack their opponent and left several questions, including some very direct ones, unanswered.

This leaves a bad taste in the mouths of many voters who continue to have many concerns five months before the elections.

What’s next after the debate

It is expected that the official announcement of who will be the presidential candidates in the 2024 elections will be made through the conventions of each party. The Republican Convention is scheduled for July 15 to 18, while the Democratic Convention will take place from August 19 to 22.

While Kamala Harris is Biden’s running mate, Trump is expected to announce soon who will be the vice president on his ticket.

A second presidential debate is scheduled for September 10 and will be hosted by ABC News. The presidential elections will be held on Tuesday, November 5.
