What happened

As Donald Trump returned to the campaign trail on Tuesday, he "reveled in the mounting turmoil surrounding President Joe Biden's campaign in the wake of their debate" and ratcheted up his "attacks on both Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris," The Associated Press said.

"Joe's own party wants him to throw in the towel and surrender the presidency after a single 90-minute performance," Trump told supporters at his golf resort in Doral, Florida. If Biden had "picked someone even halfway competent" as vice president, "they would have bounced him from office years ago." Trump "consistently mispronounced Harris' first name and used a nickname mocking the way she laughs," The Washington Post said. And he tauntingly challenged Biden to a round of golf.

The president "doesn't have time for Donald Trump's weird antics," Biden's campaign said. "He's busy leading America and defending the free world."
