President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump took the stage in the first 2024 presidential debate in Atlanta on Thursday night. The tension between Trump and Biden throughout the debate began from the start, in which the two men did not begin with a handshake, as most typically do. Echoing what most major networks reported after the debate, the headline on the homepage of CNN read: ‘Biden disappoints; Trump lies and deflects’. The news outlet went on to say that “Biden, hoarse and displaying little vocal range, was often unable to express his differences with Trump with clarity. I don’t think he knows what he said, either.” Trump, meanwhile, at times repeated his frequent election denialism.
