The first US presidential candidate debate has concluded, with CNN statistics showing Trump spoke for 40 minutes and 12 seconds, surpassing Biden's 35 minutes and 41 seconds. Outside the debate venue, supporters of both candidates gathered, along with pro-Palestine protesters demonstrating. Governor Newsom of California showed support for Biden before the debate, emphasizing failures on major issues by Trump. Age was a key focus, with 68% of voters seeing Biden as too old compared to 39% for Trump. Trump's wife Melania, who often skips his events, did not announce her vice-presidential running mate as planned. However, Senator Portman of Ohio, Governor Burgum of North Dakota, and Senator Rubio of Florida are considered top contenders. People showed keen interest in the debate, focusing on issues like the economy and age concerns surrounding the 81-year-old Biden and 78-year-old Trump.
