Trump, Biden call each other 'liar' in 1st debate

President Donald Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden sparred over health care - and honesty - during the first presidential debate.

During a back and forth over the future of the Affordable Care Act, or "Obamacare," Biden said "Everybody knows he's a liar," referring to Trump.

Trump shot back that Biden is "the liar."  He also said Biden would be beholden to Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders and other "socialists" in the Democratic party.

Biden noted that he won the Democratic nomination partly by arguing against single-payer health care that many of his rivals sought. The former vice president has instead proposed expanding the Affordable Care Act to provide a public option that people could buy into.

Trump responded that Democrats still want to abolish private health insurance and suggested the party would force Biden to do its bidding.

“My party is me,” Biden replied. “Right now, I’m the Democratic Party.”
