In a recent debate between Trump and Biden, Trump took the stage with his signature confidence, reminding everyone of the prosperous years under his administration. On the other hand, Biden's performance was likened to "an old man trying to whisper at a cloud." While Team Biden aimed to showcase a different side of Joe, it didn't hit the mark they hoped for.
As the debate unfolded, Trump's delivery remained relaxed and effective, a familiar sight that many had missed. In contrast, Biden needed help to articulate a concise version of his usual speeches, leading to a lackluster performance that left much to be desired.
Throughout the night, Biden attempted to shift blame onto Trump for past events, a move that many found unconvincing. Despite the candidates' closing statements falling flat, it seemed clear that neither side was making a lasting impact with their rhetoric.

Biden's attempts to divert attention to his record were met with skepticism, with many Americans feeling the real-life effects of his policies on their daily lives. Meanwhile, Trump's references to China and accusations of being a "Manchurian candidate" added a touch of drama to the proceedings, even if not everyone caught the historical reference.
As the debate concluded, the spin began, with each side attempting to frame the narrative favorably. A weak closing only marred Trump's solid performance slightly, allowing Biden to redirect focus to Trump rather than his own record. Ultimately, both candidates left voters questioning the substance of their arguments and looking for more substantial answers to the nation's challenges.
