The current president was perceived as stumbling over his words while the Republican Trump repeated numerous falsehoods. “The fraud and everything else was ridiculous,” he said at one point, casting doubt on President Biden’s win in 2020. Still, as he faced the first question of the night, Biden came out swinging, seeking to dent Trump’s popularity by attacking the Republican’s leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic. At one point, they even started to compare their golf games, with Biden challenging Trump to carry his own bag of equipment and Trump mocking Biden’s swing. Biden slammed Trump for media reports that the Republican president called veterans “suckers and losers”, invoking the loss of his own son, Beau Biden.
