In an unprecedented face-off, current U.S. President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump clashed over their records during a debate in Atlanta, Georgia, on Thursday evening. This marked the first time a sitting president and a former president have engaged in such an event.
The 90-minute debate, held without an audience, featured few direct exchanges but was charged with tension. President Biden began the evening on a hesitant note, while Mr. Trump responded with steady remarks. Both leaders accused each other of dishonesty, with each labeling the other as “the worst president in U.S. history.”
The debate highlighted the deep-seated divisions in current American politics, offering global observers insight into the contrasting visions of the nation’s leadership. The absence of an audience did little to temper the intensity between the two figures, as they sparred over policies, achievements, and their respective impacts on the country.
