Speaking at his first rally since the presidential debate, former President Trump argued that the country’s “biggest problem” is not President Biden’s age or “decline,” but his destructive policies.
President Trump celebrated his victory after the first 2024 presidential debate in front of a crowd of more than 1,000 people at Historic Greenbriar Farm in Chesapeake, Virginia, on Friday.
Trump told his supporters that all voters should ask one question before heading to the polls on November 5.
“The question every voter should be asking themselves today is not whether Joe Biden can survive 90 minutes of a debate, but whether America can tolerate another four years of a cheating Joe Biden in the White House,” he said.
Trump and Biden are sparring over golf handicaps as they try to convince voters he’s not too old to be president.

“Remember, the biggest problem for our country isn’t Joe Biden’s personal decline,” Trump said. “The problem is that Joe Biden’s policies are causing a decline in America at a level we’ve never seen before.”
“That’s why this November, Virginians and Americans will say to villainous Joe Biden: ‘You’re fired.'”

“The choice in this election is simple,” Biden said. “Donald Trump will destroy our democracy. And I will defend it.”
