2. Biden jabs Trump’s criminal conviction
“The only person on this stage who is a convicted felon is this man I’m looking at right now,” Biden said to Trump.
3. “My son was not a loser, was not a sucker. You’re the sucker, you’re the loser,” Biden tells Trump
“First of all, that was a made-up quote, ‘suckers and losers.’ They made it up. It was in a third-rate magazine that’s failing, like many of these magazines,” Trump said. “To think that I would, in front of generals and others, say ‘suckers and losers.’”
4. Biden attacks Trump on immigration actions: “He was taking — separating — babies from their mothers”

5. Biden on Trump’s Roe v. Wade claims: “Simply not true”
“That is simply not true,” Biden responded. “Roe v. Wade does not provide for that — that’s not the circumstance. Only if a woman’s life is in danger, or she’s going to die. That’s the only circumstance where that can happen.”
6. Biden calls the overturning of Roe v. Wade “a terrible thing”
“The vast majority of constitutional scholars supported Roe (v. Wade) when it was decided,” he said in response to former President Donald Trump, who defended the overturning of the landmark case. “This idea that they were all against it is just ridiculous.”
