I oversee the WSJ’s Washington bureau. Ask me anything about last night’s debate, where things stand with the 2024 election and what could happen next. AMA-Finished

President Biden’s halting performance during last night’s debate with Donald Trump left the Democratic Party in turmoil. You can watch my video report on the debate and read our coverage on how party officials are now trying to sort through the president’s prospects. 

We want to hear from you. What questions do you have coming out of the debate? 

What questions do you have about the election in general? 

I’m Damian Paletta, The Wall Street Journal’s Washington Coverage Chief, overseeing our political reporting. Ask me anything.

All stories linked here are free to read.

Edit, 3:00pm ET: I'm wrapping up now, but wanted to say a big thanks to everyone for jumping in and asking so many great questions. Sorry I couldn't answer them all! We'll continue to write about the fallout from the debate as well as all other aspects of this unprecedented election, and I hope you'll keep up with our reporting. Thanks, again.

What about Biden lying about being endorsed by border patrol union, the fine people hoax, no Americans dying under his presidency abroad, and inheriting 9% inflation (it was 2%)?

I mean, I can't be your personal politifact person, but the Border Patrol endorsed the immigration bill Biden wrote, which was killed by Republicans beholden to Trump. He did not say the border patrol endorsed him.

the fine people hoax

I don't know why you call it a hoax when you can see him say it. Watch it if you can stomach it. https://youtu.be/JmaZR8E12bs?si=mcW5Pki0WJI1O3wx

no Americans dying under his presidency abroad

I don't know your source on that wild claim, but I do know military personnel died in Afghanistan, and they are definitely American.

I don't remember hearing that during the debate. Show me a source and I'll believe you.

He didn't say the bill last night the said the union and they responded to him. https://x.com/BPUnion/status/1806501048724430943

Why don't you actually watched the video you sent. He at 1:56 he condemns all the white nationalists. Why don't you actually start thinking for yourself. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-very-fine-people/

Biden said no American's died abroad under him. I don't think you actually watched the debate. https://freebeacon.com/biden-administration/biden-says-no-american-troops-died-on-his-watch-ignoring-13-deaths-during-botched-afghanistan-withdrawal/

I am not going to respond to you if you choose to respond to me here. I don't think you're a serious person.
