(NewsNation) — President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump squared off in the first of two presidential debates as they head toward a rematch of the 2020 election. Meanwhile, challenger Robert F. Kennedy Jr., after not making it to the CNN debate stage, responded to the questions on X.
During the debate, the two candidates traded barbs over the other’s policies, repeatedly calling the other “liar.” Trump avoided questions about the Jan. 6 Capitol riots and accepting the outcome of the 2024 election should he lose, while Biden, hoarse with a cold, struggled to successfully take on Trump on questions about abortion and the border.
