Good morning. We're covering the debate, as well as the Supreme Court, Iranians voting and the N.B.A. draft.
Affirming fearsAfter last night, many Democrats are panicked. They hoped that President Biden, 81, could convince voters that his age was nothing to worry about. That he could counter Donald Trump's wild accusations and relentless falsehoods with confidence. He didn't. Biden's voice was hoarse and halting. His answers were often unclear, and he struggled to finish his thoughts. "Rather than dispel concerns about his age," wrote my colleague Peter Baker, Biden "made it the central issue." Some Democrats are now pushing for him to drop out of the race. "Biden is about to face a crescendo of calls to step aside," a Democratic strategist told Peter. "Joe had a deep well of affection among Democrats. It has run dry." Donald Trump, 78, delivered his false statements with conviction, affirming many voters' concerns about his character and the threat he poses for democracy. Trump claimed that immigrants had driven up crime; rates of crime and murder have dropped. He claimed that Iran was "broke" when he was president; it was not. He claimed that Biden would allow abortions even after the birth of a child; Biden doesn't support that. (Read a fact-check of many more of Trump's and Biden's claims.) The debate at times turned ugly. Trump and Biden questioned each other's competence. Each suggested that the other would start World War III. They even argued about their golfing skills. For 90 minutes in Atlanta, Biden and Trump "debated inflation and immigration, abortion and addiction," wrote my colleague Lisa Lerer, who covers national politics. "Yet the extraordinary rematch between two presidents — two men who are the oldest candidates to ever seek the White House and who did nothing to conceal their hatred for each other — put on stark display the reasons the contest has repelled swaths of Americans." The rest of today's newsletter summarizes The Times's coverage of the debate, including the biggest moments and the candidates' policy differences. More on the debate
