Biden’s verbal stumbles, Trump’s ‘morals of an alley cat’: 6 debate takeaways

LA Times  

People watch the presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden at XR Studio on Thursday. Trump sounded like a slightly toned down version of himself — less bombastic — as he declared that under his administration “everything was rocking good.” President Joe Biden speaks during Thursday’s debate with former President Trump in Atlanta. “All he had to do was leave it.” President Joe Biden, right, and Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump, left, participate in a presidential debate hosted by CNN, Thursday, June 27, 2024, in Atlanta. Biden shot back that there was only one person onstage who was a convicted felon, pushing Trump to proclaim, “I have done nothing wrong.” Biden came back with what will probably be a viral moment, pointing out that Trump slept with adult film star Stormy Daniels and declaring, “You have the morals of an alley cat.” The exchange marked a moment in which Biden abandoned his ivory tower approach to politics and got into the ring, something many have said is necessary against a talented verbal pugilist like Trump — even if Biden’s barb sounded like it came straight out of a Humphrey Bogart movie. This combination of photos shows Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump, left, and President Joe Biden during a presidential debate hosted by CNN, Thursday, June 27, 2024, in Atlanta.
