On June 27, 2024, former US President Trump and current President Biden debated as the respective Republican and Democratic nominees for the 2024 US presidential election. A recent Reuters/New York Times poll reveals that Trump leads Biden nationally by 6 points after the debate. The survey also indicates that 74% of respondents consider Biden too old to serve as president, with Trump gaining a wider margin of support among registered voters. Gender-wise, Trump sees a substantial increase in male support post-debate, particularly among young and less educated men, while Biden maintains a slight lead among women. Biden's campaign team acknowledges the shifting poll numbers as normal, with internal polls showing a closer race. Various news outlets speculate on Biden's potential withdrawal and alternative Democratic nominees, but the White House remains firm that no change in candidacy is planned.
