'Inflation Is Killing Our Country': Trump, Biden Clash On US Economy In First Debate Of 2024 Election
==========

Former US President Donald Trump criticizes incumbent Joe Biden's administration's handling of the economy during the first debate of the 2024 election cycle. Trump claims that inflation is 'killing our country' and that Biden has done a poor job. Biden describes the American economy as being 'in freefall' and Trump touts his own economic record, stating that the US had the greatest economy in its history under his leadership. The debate focuses on the economy as a central issue. About 3 in 10 Americans consider the economy to be the most important problem facing the country, with 1 in 10 specifically mentioning the high cost of living or inflation. Trump currently holds a narrow national lead over Biden in the polls. The two rivals did not shake hands as they took their positions at podiums in a studio with no live audience. Biden faces concerns about his age, the rising cost of living, and his administration's handling of conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, while Trump deals with fallout from his conviction in a New York hush money trial, multiple federal indictments, and scrutiny over his involvement in the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
