President Joe Biden, the presumptive 2024 Democratic presidential nominee, and former President Donald Trump, the presumptive 2024 Republican presidential nominee, faced off in Atlanta, Georgia, on Thursday night for their first debate of the 2024 cycle.
The debate was moderated by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Dana Bash.
‘President Trump, will you take any action as president to slow the climate crisis?’
Bash asked Trump whether he would “block abortion medication.”
“I will not block it,” Trump said.
At one point, after Biden finished delivering some remarks, Trump said that he didn’t know what Biden had said at the end of a sentence, adding that he didn’t even think Biden knew what he had said.
When Tapper asked Trump what he would say to voters who think he violated his oath to uphold the Constitution on January 6, 2021, Trump responded that he does not think many people believe that.
Trump claimed that on January 6, the U.S. “had a great border,” was “energy independent,” “had the lowest taxes ever,” “the lowest regulations ever,” and was “respected all over the world.”
“What happened to the United States’ reputation under this man’s leadership is horrible,” Trump declared, referring to Biden.
When asked whether he thinks those who vote for Trump will be voting against U.S. democracy, Biden said “the more they know about what he’s done, yes.”
Bash asked a question that assumed as fact there is a “climate crisis.”
“President Trump, will you take any action as president to slow the climate crisis?” she asked.
“I want absolutely immaculate clean water. And I want absolutely clean air,” Trump said.
“The only existential threat to humanity is climate change,” Biden asserted.
Trump declared that Biden will “drive us into World War III.”
