Joe Biden and Donald Trump engaged in a contentious exchange during their first presidential debate held on Thursday, June 27 at CNN headquarters in Atlanta. The debate quickly escalated into a series of personal attacks and sharp criticisms from both sides.

In the opening thirty minutes, Biden passionately defended his policies and record, while Trump countered with accusations of lies regarding the economy, abortion rights, and NATO defense spending. The atmosphere became increasingly heated as the candidates traded barbs and insults.

At one point, Biden referred to Trump as a "convicted felon," alluding to Trump's involvement in a historic hush money trial. In response, Trump labeled Biden a "criminal," alleging misuse of his vice presidential position to benefit his son Hunter Biden, who recently faced federal charges related to firearms.

The debate featured intense moments of name-calling and personal allegations. Biden brought up allegations from Stormy Daniels, a former adult film star, regarding Trump's extramarital affairs. He criticized Trump's moral character, describing him as having "the morals of an alley cat."

Trump vehemently denied these accusations and dismissed the criminal investigations against him as politically motivated. He challenged Biden on issues ranging from military service allegations to immigration, without providing substantiated evidence.

The clash continued with Biden accusing Trump of disrespecting military personnel, referencing claims made by Trump's former chief of staff, John Kelly. Biden called Trump a "sucker and loser" in response to these allegations, prompting Trump to demand an apology and deny the accusations as fabricated.

Throughout the debate, both candidates traded assertions of being the "worst president" in American history, reflecting the intensity and acrimony of the exchanges. Trump's assertion about the sources of illegal immigration further fueled the contentious atmosphere, despite lacking evidence to support his claims.

The debate underscored the deep political divisions and personal animosities between Biden and Trump, setting a combative tone for the upcoming presidential campaign.
