A shaky start from a stumbling Joe Biden left some Democrat supporters concerned the president was not able to push back on rival Donald Trump91裸聊视频檚 oftentimes exaggerated or inaccurate claims during the first presidential debate ahead of the November election.

There were gasps from Democratic supporters during a Thursday evening watch party in South Philadelphia when Biden lost his train of thought while trying to make a point about tax rates and the number of billionaires in America near the beginning of the debate.

Danina Moore was a bit uneasy following 81-year-old Biden91裸聊视频檚 uneven performance, including a raspy voice and rambling responses, throughout the debate.

91裸聊视频淗opefully Biden can pull it off,91裸聊视频 Moore said with a sigh.

The president has faced consistent criticism about his age and the concerns were likely not quelled by his conduct on the stage in Atlanta. When asked about age during the debate, Biden pointed out that Trump is 78.

91裸聊视频淭his guy91裸聊视频檚 three years younger and a lot less competent,91裸聊视频 Biden said.

 

Trump, in response to a similar question about his age, pointed to the two cognitive tests he took, saying he 91裸聊视频渁ced them,91裸聊视频 and called for Biden to take one.

Trump appeared energetic but not always factual with his responses while Biden91裸聊视频檚 jarring speech and missteps seemed more pronounced.

Vice-President Kamala Harris, speaking on CNN afterward, said 91裸聊视频渢here was a slow start, but there was a strong finish.91裸聊视频

Democrats and Republicans were both hoping the early debate would light a spark for supporters. Experts have said many Americans are not engaging with the campaigns and a lot of would-be voters aren91裸聊视频檛 supportive of either candidate.

At the Philadelphia watch party, Republican George Williams said he thought Trump walked away the more competent and coherent debater.

While Philadelphia is generally a Democratic stronghold, Pennsylvania, where Biden was born, has turned into a battleground state that could be crucial to win the presidency.

Trump took it in 2016 before it swung back to Biden in 2020 91裸聊视频 both by narrow margins.

The matchup Thursday saw the current president and his political rival exchange personal barbs as well as criticism over their legacies in the Oval Office.

Biden said when Trump left office, 91裸聊视频渢hings were in chaos.91裸聊视频 He said the COVID-19 pandemic was poorly handled and the economy was in freefall. Biden spoke about his record on jobs and the cost of medication.

Trump said his presidency brought 91裸聊视频渢he greatest economy in the history of our country.91裸聊视频 Trump also criticized Biden91裸聊视频檚 withdrawal of U.S. forces in Afghanistan.

Williams said nothing from the debate would sway his opinion. He91裸聊视频檚 basing his decision on Trump91裸聊视频檚 first term as president. 91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檓 already sold.91裸聊视频

Moore said any parent should be afraid of a second Trump term.
