After exchanging personal jabs in Atlanta on Thursday, US President Joe Biden and Republican opponent Donald Trump concluded the first general election debate of the 2024 campaign. Millions of people watched the debate on TV and social media, and it addressed a variety of topics. Top quotations from the US presidential debate include the following:

YOU ARE LOSER! 

"I recently spent a day in France, and I spoke highly of the warriors who lost their lives. During the Thursday night debate in Atlanta, Biden stated, "I visited the World War One and World War Two cemeteries, whereas he declined to go there. Speaking of his late son Beau, who served in the Army and deployed to Iraq, Biden remarked, "My son was not a loser, was not a sucker." "You are the gullible one! You are the one who fails! Biden continued.

PORNSTAR AND DRAMA

"How much in civil penalties do you owe, in billions of dollars? For publicly harassing a woman? for carrying out a variety of tasks? having sex with a porn celebrity when your spouse was expecting a child?” About Trump's alleged mid-2000s sexual encounter with adult film star Stormy Daniels, Biden spoke. Trump refuted Biden's assertion.

WAR ON UKRAINE 

Trump launched a barrage of attacks on Biden over the conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine by claiming, "If we had a true president, the president that... was revered by Putin, he would have never attacked Ukraine." "Allow Putin to invade and seize control of Ukraine before proceeding to Poland and other regions." Watch what transpires after that. Regarding Trump, Biden remarked, "He has no idea what the hell he is talking about."

ISRAEL-PALESTINE ISSUE

Trump reiterated his assertion that if he had been elected president, Hamas terrorists "would have never invaded Israel in a million years." He now resembles a Palestinian. However, the reason they dislike him is that he is a terrible Palestinian. Biden is a weak one, according to Trump.

CONCERNS WITH DRAGON

Biden "gets money from China," according to Trump, so he is scared to do business with them. "Right now, our nation is facing its biggest deficit ever. Our imbalance with China is the biggest. China is the one who pays him. He is a candidate from Manchuria. Trump remarked, "He gets his money from China."

INFLATION ON THE RISE?

"He has performed a subpar job, and our nation is dying from inflation." "It is killing us,” declared President Trump, who held office from 2017 to 2021. Trump claimed that "everything was rolling good" while he was in charge. According to Biden, "the economy imploded" under Trump, and "what we had to do is attempt to put things back together again" when he took office.

During the Atlanta debate on Thursday, both candidates had the chance to convince Americans of their eligibility for the White House and win over swing voters.
