Independent and Republican voters in Fox News Digital\u2019s focus group appeared to have mixed reactions to President Biden and former President Trump\u2019s sparring over their respective cognitive abilities and golf handicaps, while Democrats generally disapproved.<\/p>\n
During the CNN Presidential Debate on Thursday night, CNN moderator Dana Bash presented the ages Biden and Trump would be at the end of a potential second four-year term.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Biden would be 86, while Trump would be 82.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018I took two cognitive tests, I aced them,\u2019 Trump said. \u2018He took none, I\u2019d like to see him take one, just one.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018I just won two club championships, not even senior, two regular club championships. To do that, you have to be quite smart. And you have to be able to hit the ball a long way,\u2019 the former president continued.<\/p>\n
Biden defended his age, saying he \u2018spent half my career being criticized about being the youngest person in politics. I was the second-youngest person ever elected to the United States Senate, and now I\u2019m the oldest. This guy is three years younger and a lot less competent.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018Look, I\u2019d be happy to have a driving contest with him,\u2019 Biden said.<\/p>\n
\u2018I\u2019ve seen you swing. I know your swing,\u2019 Trump fired back. \u2018Let\u2019s not act like children.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n
Biden replied: \u2018You are a child.\u2019<\/p>\n
According to Fox Digital\u2019s focus group dial, Republicans and independents approved of Trump\u2019s comments, while Democrats did not.\u00a0<\/p>\n
