Biden, Trump Clash in First 2024 Debate
Presidential Race Remains a Toss-Up
National Polls Show Tight Contest
In a highly anticipated matchup, President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump squared off in the first debate of the 2024 election cycle last night. The debate, the first time the two candidates have met since the 2020 election, was marked by heated exchanges and sharp contrasts in style and policy.
With just 133 days until Election Day, the presidential race remains a pure toss-up. According to our latest forecast, Biden is currently favored to win the popular vote by a narrow margin. However, Trump has closed the gap in recent months and is now within striking distance of the incumbent president.
As the race enters its final stretch, national polls show a tight contest. A recent poll by ABC News/Washington Post has Biden leading Trump by just 3 points, 48% to 45%. Other polls have shown similar results, with Biden and Trump neck and neck in the national race.
The debate last night may have had a significant impact on the race. Biden struggled at times to keep pace with Trump's aggressive attacks, while Trump's performance appeared to energize his supporters. It remains to be seen whether the debate will move the needle in the race or solidify the current polling dynamics.
As the presidential race draws to a close, voters will face a choice between two very different candidates. Biden, 79, is a seasoned politician with decades of experience in government. Trump, 76, is a former businessman with no prior experience in elected office.
