U.S. President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump engaged in a heated 90-minute debate, skipping the customary handshake. The debate kicked off with economic issues, where Biden touted his administration’s recovery efforts while Trump criticized rising inflation. They sparred over abortion rights, with Biden accusing Trump of undermining them, and Trump defending state-level decisions. Trump also faced scrutiny over his role in the January 6 Capitol riot, where he denied responsibility and pivoted to criticism of Democrats. The debate highlighted stark policy differences and personal attacks, setting the tone for a contentious rematch.
