Democratic President Joe Biden and his Republican rival Donald Trump faced off in the first presidential debate of the 2024 race in Atlanta, Ga., on Thursday night. Democratic and Republican representatives shared mixed reactions the day following the showdown, which raised questions about Biden’s age and Trump’s affinity for falsehoods and exaggerations.

“From my humble perspective, this is not about style. This is about delivering results for the American people. And tonight, I think Joe Biden not only asserted himself, he reminded people of his accomplishments and his vision for the future," California Governor Gavin Newsom said after the debate.

Meanwhile, Republicans slammed Biden’s performance, expressing concern for the 81-year-old president and their continued support for Trump. "Joe Biden didn’t look like a man who was in command of the country or the facts or his own campaign or the debate,” Republican congressman from Florida Matt Gaetz said.

In Washington, D.C., House Speaker Mike Johnson said that he would be “panicking” if he were a Democrat, while former house speaker Nancy Pelosi said that she saw “integrity” from Biden. Texas Republican representative Chip Roy called for Vice President Kamala Harris to step in, claiming that Biden was “just not capable.”
