Biden and Trump face off in 1st presidential debate米大統領選挙、初の公開討論会開催

Democratic U.S. President Joe Biden delivered a shaky performance at a debate on June 27, while his Republican rival Donald Trump battered him with a series of often false attacks, as the two oldest presidential candidates ever exchanged deeply personal insults ahead of November’s election.

The two men traded barbs on abortion, immigration, the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, their handling of the economy — and even their golf games — as they each sought to shake up what opinion polls show has been a virtually tied race for months.

Two White House officials said Biden had a cold. But the president’s uneven performance rattled some Democrats and could deepen voter concerns that the 81-year-old is too old to serve another four-year term.

One top Biden donor called his performance “disqualifying” and said he expected a fresh round of calls for him to step aside ahead of the party’s national convention in August.

Biden and Trump, 78, were both under pressure to display their fitness for office. Biden has been dogged by questions about his age and sharpness, while Trump’s incendiary and frequently false rhetoric and sprawling legal woes remain a vulnerability. (Reuters)
