Snap Insight: Biden-Trump presidential debate potentially the most consequential in US history

US President Joe Biden and former president Donald Trump faced off in the first presidential debate of the 2024 presidential cycle on Jun 27, 2024 in Los Angeles, California. SINGAPORE: On occasion, presidential debates in the United States have been highly consequential in determining the outcome of the election. The race of 1960 between John F Kennedy and Richard Nixon comes immediately to mind. Arguably, the 1976 contest between Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter does as well.

Despite Mr Trump carrying so much negative baggage with voters, he and his successor are tied in the polls today. The question this year will be which way the “double haters” break - if the campaigns can convince them to vote at all. Can the Biden campaign convince these voters that despite their unfavourable view of the incumbent, that they should vote for him anyway, likely based on the administration’s support for reproductive freedoms and abortion rights?
