ATLANTA — US President Joe Biden on Thursday slammed his Republican rival Donald Trump’s felony conviction as the pair clashed in their first debate of the 2024 campaign season.

“The only person on this stage is a convicted felon is the man I’m looking at right now. And the fact of the matter is, what he’s telling you is simply not true,” Biden shot at Trump, after his predecessor said some Democrats should be in prison.
