On June 28, 2024, former U.S. President Joe Biden held a rally in Virginia. During the first televised presidential debate held by Reuters on June 27, the current President seeking re-election, Biden, performed far below expectations, highlighting his old age. Former President Trump, who was performing normally in the debate, mocked Biden saying he is 'not too old, but incompetent'. Trump raised concerns among Democratic supporters regarding the potential replacement of Biden before the election. Trump's supporters worry about the Democrats actually replacing Biden with a more competitive candidate, but this task is not easy as Biden has already gained enough votes in multiple state primaries to secure the nomination. There are strict rules within the Democratic Party for changing presidential candidates, and even if Biden were to withdraw, Vice President Harris cannot automatically take over as the nominee. Negotiations would be required before the National Convention in August. Supporters at Trump's rally expressed concerns over potential change in Democratic candidate and the lack of an easy replacement plan if Biden steps down.

An exclusive report on the first televised debate between U.S. President Biden and former President Trump on June 27, 2024, highlighted their contrasting performances. Biden's lackluster showing, marked by hoarseness and scattered responses, raised concerns within the Democratic Party, leading to discussions about his suitability as a presidential candidate. In contrast, Trump's strong and direct approach, despite occasional inaccuracies, resonated with his supporters and influenced swing voters. This debate not only impacted party dynamics but also triggered worries among political experts about the election's course and outcome, especially considering the contrasting stances on key issues like the economy, foreign policy, and abortion. Voter reactions and opinion polls suggested Trump slightly leading Biden in support, particularly on economic matters and addressing cost-of-living challenges. The debate's aftermath stirred uncertainty within the Democratic Party regarding Biden's candidacy, with internal debates on a potential replacement circulating. The undercurrents of the Biden campaign and internal apprehensions were further fueled by his subdued debate performance, potentially exacerbating doubts about his candidacy among Democrats. Trump's assertive stance and direct attacks aimed at Biden's policies and personal background solidified his base support and impacted undecided voters. The discourse on crucial issues such as the economy, abortion rights, and international policies revealed stark differences between the two candidates and their strategic approaches, likely influencing voter sentiments and the election's trajectory.
