US President Joe Biden and Republican challenger Donald Trump traded barbs Thursday in the first debate of the 2024 election campaign.

US President Joe Biden and former US President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump participate in the first presidential debate of the 2024 elections at CNN's studios in Atlanta, Georgia, on June 27, 2024.

Following criticism over record border crossings and a bipartisan immigration bill that faltered in Congress, Biden signed an executive order early this month to temporarily shut down the border to asylum seekers after certain daily limits are hit. “The overwhelming majority of violent crimes are committed by citizens,” said Columbia Law School professor Jeffrey Fagan.

Michelle Mittelstadt, director of communications at the Migration Policy Institute, said there is also no evidence to support Trump’s claims during the debate that prisoners and people from mental institutions are flooding across the southern US border.Both Trump and Biden sought to defer blame for rising prices by criticizing each other’s economic policies.

Unemployment was about 6.4 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, down from its peak of 14.8 percent in April 2020 after the outbreak.
