During the first 2024 presidential debate, Biden hit at Trump for saying there were “fine people on both sides” of the 2017 white supremacist rally in Virginia.
Former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden during the first 2024 presidential debate, hosted by CNN in Atlanta on June 27.uring the first presidential debate of the 2024 general election, President Joe Biden repeated his long-standing claim that he was inspired to run for the presidency four years ago after witnessing the
“What got me involved around the first place after my son had died,” Biden said in response to CNN moderator Jake Tapper asking if a vote for former President Donald Trump is a vote against democracy, “…I said I wasn’t going to run again until I saw what happened in Charlottesville, Virginia—people coming out of the woods carrying swastikas on torches and singing the same anti-semitic bile they sang back in Germany.
