28 June 2024 Punjab Khabarnama : Joe Biden and Donald Trump traded barbs during the first presidential debate on Thursday, June 27 at CNN headquarters in Atlanta.During the first thirty minutes of the discussion, fiery Biden defended his policies and record with meandering. In response, Trump countered him for spreading lies on economy, abortion rights, and the defence budgets of NATO allies.
The debate has several intense instances of personal attacks and name-calling between Biden and his GOP rival Trump. While the POTUS called Trump a “convicted felon”, referring to Trump’s historic hush money trial conviction, the ex-President dubbed the Democrat a “criminal”.
Biden inquired Trump about the amount of money he owes in civil penalties, and brought up the charges made by former adult film star Stormy Daniels that Trump had “sex with a porn star… while your wife was pregnant”. He went on to say that the GOP leader had “the morals of an alley cat.”
Trump hit back at Biden, claiming, “I didn’t have sex with a porn star.”
He further maintained that the criminal investigations against him, which included his conviction in Manhattan for fabricating financial documents pertaining to a payment of hush money to Daniels, were driven by political motivations.
