Obama voiced his support for Biden to show unity at a critical moment.

The competition for the US presidential election has escalated. The current President Biden and former President Trump held the first TV debate in the 2024 presidential election on the 27th. After the debate, there were waves in American politics, especially in the Democratic Party, which caused concern about Biden’s competitiveness. However, former President Obama voiced his support for Biden on social platform X at this critical moment. He comforted himself with personal experience: "A bad debate night is inevitable, and I deeply understand it. But the core of this election has not changed-it is about the choice between a candidate who has always struggled for the people and another self-centered candidate; It is a choice between being honest with the people and weaving lies for personal gain. " Obama stressed that despite the many twists and turns in the debate night, the upcoming November election is still crucial.

On the day of the debate, Biden and Trump sparred in the first face-to-face contest in four years. The debate began at 9: 00 pm EST on the 27th (9: 00 am Beijing time on the 28th). According to Politico’s report, Biden’s performance in the debate made many Democrats feel anxious and even began to discuss the possibility of changing candidates in private. A heavyweight donor of the Democratic Party and a supporter of Biden bluntly said that Biden should consider stopping his campaign, and he rated Biden’s debate performance as "unprecedented bad", further pointing out that this performance almost made people ignore Trump’s untrue words.
