First Presidential Debate 2024: President Biden considers impact of presidential campaign on Congressional election results

On June 27, Joe Biden and Donald Trump held the first political debate of this election cycle. Each of the political teams of the main contenders for the top post in the United States saw an opportunity to significantly change the course of the electoral struggle in their favor.

Joe Biden failed to meet the expectations of many of his fellow party members, causing negative assessments by the wider public and the media. These assessments immediately converted into public calls for the President to withdraw from the race.

The main reason for this was that the President demonstrated during the discussion that his advanced age and health directly affect his effectiveness.

The motives for the incumbent President's continued participation or non-participation in the elections go beyond the election campaign and the general public's perception of his ability to deliver vivid public speeches.
