At a rally in North Carolina, Joe Biden criticized Trump’s “record of lies” in Thursday’s debate and sought to assure his supporters that he is capable of governing the country.
The first debate between the candidates for president of the United States, Donald Trump and Joe Biden, did not go well for the leader of the Democrats, something that left his followers worried. Biden decided to face the criticism and this Friday, at a rally in North Carolina, he addressed the issue, recognizing that it is old and has less rhythm. But he remembers that you know how to lead and that you are governed by the correct values.
“I know I’m not a young man, to state the obvious. I know I don’t walk as easily as I used to, I don’t speak as well as I used to, I don’t debate as well as I used to, but I know what I know: I know how to say The truth is that I know right from wrong and I know how to do this job. Biden assured Democratic supporters at a campaign event. The phrase generated applause and great support from the public present, who for around 30 minutes interrupted the presidential candidate with words of support such as “Let’s go, Joe” (“Let’s go, Joe”, in Portuguese) and “Four more years” (“Four more years” (“Let’s go, Joe”, in Portuguese) Four more years”, in Portuguese, referring to the duration of a mandate).
And, seeking to further reassure Democrats concerned about the poor performance in the previous day’s debate, the 81-year-old candidate left a guarantee: “I give you my word as Biden that I wouldn’t run again if I didn’t believe with my heart and soul that I could do this job.. Because, frankly, the risks are too high.”

Trump: Record holder for lying with the “values of an alley cat”
In an attempt to analyze the debate that marked the night for Americans last Thursday, Joe Biden began by joking: “I don’t know what they did last night.” And then he added: “I spent 90 minutes on stage debating a guy who has the values of a stray cat.”. “My bet is that he broke the record for the most lies told in a debate.”
And then he listed a few: “He lied about how good it was for veterans. [de guerra]” and ” lied about how good he was [na luta] against crime.” In fact, during the debate, “I had to mention that the only criminal convicted last night on that stage was Donald Trump,” Biden recalled in reference to accusations of sexual harassment, tax fraud and document falsification.

Trump “also said I quadrupled taxes. Where has he been?” the Democrat joked. He then referred to what he considered Donald Trump’s “biggest lie” last Thursday: “He lied saying he had nothing to do with the theft.” [ao Capitólio] January 6. We all saw it with our own eyes! And now he wants to forgive all these criminals” who were involved in the attack.
Acknowledging later that “there is still a lot of work to be done,” especially when it comes to reducing the inflation rate in the country, Joe Biden also warned of some conclusions that were possible after the debate.
Trump “takes pride in having ‘killed’ Roe v. “Wade.” Wade,” Biden highlighted, referring to the fact that the former president managed to reverse this case, ending federal protection of abortion, which was prohibited in several North American states. This statement led the audience to boo Donald Trump intensely.
Biden continued: “We learned that Trump wants to give a big tax cut to the biggest and richest corporations” and “raise taxes on middle-class families.” He also said that “he will not respect the election result this year,” warning of a possible repeat of the attack on the Capitol.
