Former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden faced off for the first time since 2020 on Thursday, delivering performances that will be remembered for years to come.
Biden targeted the former president after a stumbling start, while Trump was more restrained than in 2020, partially due to moderator restraints. The two both got in a number of memorable lines.
Here are the biggest zingers from the first 2024 presidential debate.
Trump: ‘He did beat Medicare, he beat it to death’Trump quickly seized on a gaffe from Biden, who accidentally said that he “finally beat Medicare.”
“What I’ve been able to do with the, with, with, with the COVID, excuse me…” Biden said early on in the debate, struggling to find his words. “With dealing with everything we have to do with, look, we finally beat Medicare.”
“Well he’s right, he did beat Medicare, he beat it to death,” Trump quipped.
The former president then continued to argue that Biden and the Democrats were destroying Medicare and Social Security through mass immigration.
