SUMMARY: The article, penned by Jim Beam, reflects on the 90-minute debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump.

CNN noted that Biden failed to allay voters' concerns, while Trump perpetuated election fraud myths and criticized Biden's presidency. NPR highlighted that the debate may not significantly influence the election outcome. Despite speculation, Biden affirmed his intention to continue campaigning. The article concludes that Biden and Trump remain the primary candidates for now.
