The pair exchanged barbs during a heated debate in Ohio.
Presidential hopefuls Donald Trump and Joe Biden went head-to-head for the first of three debates, with a stark difference in style and substance between the pair.
Moderator Chris Wallace kept on attempting to hold his ground amid interruptions from the White House incumbent as Mr Trump and Mr Biden discussed Covid-19, healthcare and law and order.
At times, the debate got personal with Mr Biden calling the president a “clown”, and the Republican candidate countering “There’s nothing smart about you”.
Here, the PA news agency looks at the key points from events in Cleveland.
