Fore more years? Biden and Trump take swings at each other's golf skills in their debate
A clash over golf handicaps prompted some of the feistiest comments in the debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump
WASHINGTON (AP) — They debated the economy, immigration and foreign policy, but it was an argument over golf handicaps that brought out some of the feistiest comments in Thursday's debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump.
Answering a question about his fitness, Trump, who would be 82 at the end of a second term, bragged that he was in “very good shape” and had recently won two championships at one of his golf courses. "To do that, you have to be quite smart and you have to be able to hit the ball a long way,” Trump said.
Biden, he said, “can't hit a ball 50 yards.”
Biden then touted his his own golf abilities. "I got my handicap, when I was vice president, down to six,” Biden said. He again challenged Trump to a golf match, but only if Trump carried his bag of clubs himself.
