LAGOS, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- Afrobeats star, Davido has described the 2024 CNN US presidential debate as the “worst ever,” despite identifying as a Democrat.
The debate on Friday saw the incumbent President Joe Biden go head-to-head against his predecessor, Donald Trump, who is the presumptive Republican nominee.
During the debate, Biden’s performance appeared to falter, with his speech described as “shaky, slurred, throaty, and incoherent” by observers.
This stirred a mixed reaction on social media, with some believing the Democrats may struggle to retain the White House in the November election

“Still a Democrat sha but worst presidential debate ever,” Davido said in a post on X.
The debate touched on a range of topical issues, including the Russia-Ukraine war, Israel’s bombardment of Gaza, abortion law, taxes, Medicare, inflation, Afghanistan, and America’s standing in the world.
While Biden and Trump shared their differing perspectives on these matters, Biden’s arguments seemed, at times, to lack the clarity and conviction that voters have come to expect from a sitting president.
Some commentators have suggested that Biden may need to make amends before the election, while others believe his lacklustre performance could spell trouble for the Democrats’ chances of retaining the presidency.
