The Great Debate: Trump vs. Biden
Reactions from pundits and social media users were swift and varied. While some praised Trump's calm demeanor and ability to articulate his points clearly, others expressed concern about Biden's appearance and perceived lack of energy.
Former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer tweeted that Trump "came across more presidential" and that Biden "appeared old and stumbled too often." Texas Republican State Rep. Brian Harrison declared that "Trump won the debate" and that the "Democrat Party knows this."

However, others had a more critical view of Trump's performance. Chris Cilizza, a former CNN commentator, wrote that the debate was "a total and complete disaster for Biden." He noted that Biden "looked old," his answers "trailed off repeatedly," and he "was hard to understand."
Others suggested that Biden's performance was strong at times. Former FEC Commissioner Brad Smith tweeted that "Biden may have won the last 75 Minutes, but 1st 15 matter most."

The debate covered a wide range of topics, including the economy, immigration, and foreign policy. Trump repeatedly criticized Biden's handling of these issues, while Biden defended his record and accused Trump of dividing the country.
The debate was also marked by several fiery exchanges. Trump accused Biden of being a "socialist" and "radical Marxist," while Biden called Trump a "clown" and a "dangerous demagogue."
In the end, it is up to each individual to decide who they believe won the debate. There was no clear consensus, and both candidates have their supporters who believe they came out on top. The debate will undoubtedly be a topic of discussion for weeks to come, and it will likely have a significant impact on the upcoming election.
