Biden vs. Trump: First Presidential Debate of 2024

The first round of the 2024 Presidential debates kicked off Thursday night with Biden and Trump facing off in Atlanta, GA. The event, hosted by CNN, was moderated by the news duo of Dana Bash and Jake Tapper.

The key moment of the night, which lit up social media, came when the candidates were asked about their advanced ages and potential health concerns. Instead of a serious discussion, the two began a back-and-forth about golf, with viewers reacting strongly:

"Biden and Trump turning the serious question of their age and health into a discussion about golf is peak old guy behavior." @politics_addict

People gathered nationwide, in homes and bars, to watch and react to the debate.
