Millions around the world tuned in to the first presidential debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump - a chance to hear their pitch to voters on why they deserve another four years in the top seat.

After a shaky performance fuelled concern about his candidacy, US President Joe Biden has assured Democrat donors that he can still win November's presidential election against Donald Trump. 

Meanwhile, Donald Trump reportedly made more than 30 false claims, including his assertions that some Democratic-led states allow babies to be executed after birth, and that fraud marred the results of the 2020 election.

On this episode of Morning Shot, Bryan DeAngelis, Partner & Head of Washington Office, Penta Group shares his analysis of the road ahead for both candidates.
