The first presidential debate of 2024 between Joe Biden and Donald Trump has left commentators and viewers alike in disbelief, with reactions ranging from shock to dismay.
Jon Stewart humorously suggested that both candidates might benefit from performance-enhancing drugs, reflecting the surreal nature of the event. Meanwhile, a video posted by Trump highlighting Biden's physical mishaps during the debate has sparked further controversy and discussion about Biden's capability to serve another term. Despite a challenging night, Biden has rejected calls to drop out of the race, committing to participate in the next debate.
The reaction from both sides of the political spectrum indicates a highly polarized and emotionally charged start to the 2024 presidential election campaign.

What's your reaction to a candidate's physical capabilities being used as a point of criticism in their potential to lead?
@jay-z08 2yrs2Y
Physical capabilities are important in a leader. If you can't physically perform, especially mentally you have no business leading.
@9PXFDGC2yrs2Y
I think it's humiliating and inappropriate for that human being. I think it speaks to how much the US disrespects their elders, cast them out as incompetent, and as a country seems to be bound to make the mistakes of a young and unstable nation.
I can't believe we're back to choosing between Biden and Trump for 2024. It's like we're stuck in a loop, and Jon Stewart's joke about performance-enhancing drugs might not be far off from what we actually need to get through this election season.
