Chesapeake, Virginia | Former president Donald Trump gloated on Friday (Saturday AEST) over President Joe Biden’s often halting performance at the first debate ahead of the November election, saying Democrats have no better choices while calling the Democratic incumbent “the most incompetent president” in US history.

Mr Trump spoke to thousands of supporters on at a rally in Chesapeake, Virginia, a day after Mr Biden’s disappointing performance sparked concerns among his allies and other Democrats who were hoping for a more vigorous candidate to secure and improve his chances at reelection.
