The historic rematch between Joe Biden and Donald Trump is anything but a rerun. A vastly different set of issues are driving this race as the president and former president come face to face for the first debate of the 2024 campaign four years since they shared a stage. The worst president in America has ever had in 47 months. I've done more than you've done in 47 years. Feels like an upside down lifetime ago back when the Coronavirus pandemic was raging. You have to understand if you look, I mean, I have a mask right here. I put a mask on it. You know, when I think I need it, this is his economy that's been he shut down in the Biden Trump sequel, an entirely new fight has been brewing on the campaign trail could end up in World War II, with this person is the worst president ever. And in TV ads, this election is between a convicted criminal who's only out for himself and a president who's fighting for your family that offers a window into the new issues and fresh lines of attack. A reminder of just how much the country, the world. And yes, they have changed from an insurrection and all its fallout to a new fight on abortion rights in the wake of the US Supreme Court overturning Roe versus Wade to Russia's invasion of Ukraine and a war in the Middle East to the very stark question of America's role in the world. Yet the economy, inflation and immigration are still at the center of it. All, Trump's record was at the heart of their last debates. Even as he sought to deflect. If he gets in, you will have a depression. The likes of which you've never seen. Your 401 Ks will go to hell and it will be a very, very sad day for this country while those warnings didn't come to pass Biden record is now under the microscope, complicating his effort to make it a referendum on Trump. The fact is that everything he's saying so far is simply a lie. I'm not here to call out his lies. Everybody knows he's a liar. And America's oldest presidential candidates are even older Trump. 78 Biden 81 with age and fitness for office. Now a central issue in the race, public opinion for presidents can be punishing Biden's favorability has fallen 11 points since 2020 with nearly six in 10 Americans holding an unfavorable view. Perceptions of Trump have changed less with more than half still seeing him in an unfavorable light. Televised debates have long been a storied part of presidential campaigns with history making moments for candidates. There you go again. Yet this showdown is without parallel, the nation's 45 and 46 presidents still seeking to define one another. In the earliest general election debate in memory, an old duel being fought on new ground.
