According to reports, the first televised debate of the 2024 US presidential election was held in Atlanta on the evening of the 27th local time, attended by the current Democratic President Biden and the former Republican President Trump. The debate lasted about 90 minutes, focusing on the US economy, immigration policy, abortion, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and the situation in Palestine and Israel.
On the issue of immigration, Biden criticized the family separation policy implemented by the Trump administration and emphasized his government's border security measures. Trump accused the Biden administration of failing to effectively manage the southern border of the United States, leading to criminals entering the United States.
Regarding the Capitol Hill riots on January 6, 2021, Biden accused Trump of inciting supporters to participate in the violence that day, while Trump denied responsibility for the riots.
On the Palestinian-Israeli issue, Biden said that the ceasefire agreement he promoted included the exchange of detained persons and was a conditional and continuous ceasefire. Trump avoided a direct answer when asked whether he supported the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.
It is reported that the two candidates will have a second debate on September 10.
