“Al Jazeera Decodes the Trump-Biden Showdown: Expert Analysis of the Duel”
Al Jazeera reported: Reactions to the first debate between Biden and Trump in America continue. This debate, which was held on Thursday night local time in the state of Georgia, as expected, witnessed accusations between the two election rivals, but what has caught the eyes of analysts the most is Biden’s weak and hesitant performance in the face of Trump’s attacks.
The 81-year-old Biden and the 78-year-old Trump are both under increasing pressure as the election in November approaches, especially since the polls show that the possible votes of both rivals are close.
Kamala Harris, the vice president of the United States, said in this regard: “Biden had a difficult start during the debate, but he ended this debate with strength against a rival who constantly lied.” Biden neither lost his composure nor his confidence.
Barack Obama, the former president of the United States, also emphasized: the debate does not change the fact that one must choose between the one who tells the truth and the one who lies for his interests.
Famous journalist Thomas Friedman wrote in an article in the New York Times: “Biden is a good man and a good president, but he is not in a position to run for the second term.” I cried when I saw that Biden was sometimes tired and stammered during the 90-minute debate in front of CNN cameras. Trump is an evil person who has not learned anything and has not forgotten anything. He has nothing to do with America’s needs in the 21st century.
Speaker of the US House of Representatives Mike Johnson stated in a conversation with Fox News: Trump clearly won this debate and showed that he can stand up to the challenges facing our country. Biden cannot be president. Democrats are in a real deadlock and can’t get Harris to run.
Vaughn Jones, CNN political analyst and Obama’s special adviser, said: Biden’s performance was painful. It is true that he tried his best but ultimately failed to earn the trust of his country.
