Biden Criticized for Debate Performance; Concerns His Ability to Be Pres. for 4 More Yrs.

 U.S. President Joe Biden and his Republican rival,Donald Trump, clashed over foreign policy and Russia's war against Ukraine in a televised debate betwen the two oldest candidates ever to seek the U.S. presidency, the Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty website reports today June 28, 2024). 


After taking the debate stage on June 27 without shaking hands and with no audience in the hall, the current president and his predecessor  laid out starkly differing views on Rusasaia's full--scale invasion of its neighbor in February 2022. 


But it was Biden's performance, his words delivered with a raspy voice and often haltingly, that overshadowed the topics being discussed and raised concerns over the 81--year-old 's ability to lead the country for another four years.


Trump, who in the past has called Russian President Vladimir Putin's tactics in his 2022 invasion of Ukraine "genius"and "very savvy." attacked Biden saying that if the U.S. had a "real president," Putin would not have attacked Ukraine."He knew not to play games with me," Trump said referring to Putin..


Biden, 81,countered by calling Putin a "war criminal" and warning that if Russia is allowed to succeed in its war, Putin would not stop at Kyiv. "He killed thousands and thousands of people," said Biden, who several times appeared to lose his train of thought while delivering responses.
