Biden's debate disasterclass
Listen now
Description
Joe Biden and Donald Trump went head to head for the first time in this US election campaign last night and it could not have been more catastrophic for the incumbent president, with a series of rambling and incoherent answers and, at one point, a total freeze. Kamal and Camilla break down the highlights and - perhaps more accurately - lowllights of a remarkable debate, and talk to US Editor Tony Diver who was in the 'spin room' in Atlanta getting all the reaction from the Republican and Democrat camps. Plus, Telegraph Political Editor Ben Riley-Smith joins them in the studio to chat about his interview with Rishi Sunak, during which the Prime Minister accused Reform leader Nigel Farage of being a Putin appeaser. They also reflect on Sunak's powerful comments today after a Reform UK canvasser used a racist term to describe him, with the Prime Minster saying that Farage has 'questions to answer'.
