Celebrities Flood Twitter With Reactions to First Presidential Debate
#Music
Democratic nominee Joe Biden and President Donald Trump faced off on Tuesday night (Sept. 29) for the first general election presidential debate of 2020.
Moderated by Fox News’ Chris Wallace, the debate covered a variety of topics pertinent to the United States amid a particularly tumultuous year, including the Supreme Court, COVID-19, the economy, race and violence in our cities, and the integrity of the election.
As Biden and Trump threw more and more verbal punches and the debate stage heated up, so did the Twittersphere, with a number of celebrities sharing their thoughts on what the candidates had to say, including John Legend, 50 Cent, Sara Bareilles and more.
See below.

The debate confirms we have indeed entered the Apocalypse… of the ego.

Tbh I ain’t even watching it.
I know what it is. Two completely incompetent, unqualified males debating which one has a bigger ego. Politics aren’t going to save this nation. Look into local grassroots orgs and mutual aid programs and GET TO WORK if u wanna see change.— Lauren Jauregui (@LaurenJauregui) September 30, 2020
Y’all can be mad at me for telling the truth if you want. You can all vote and you’ll see plenty of content over the next few months of me letting u know voting Biden is a “better” option; but I stand by what I say. Politics will not save us. This is clearly NOT about the people.

No matter what happens. Isn’t the fact that our president is incapable of having a rational discussion enough to make him not eligible? It used to be.

Take off the gloves, #Joe! Slug him hard a few times, for the 206,000 dead AND the living, for all the fallen soldiers he’s maligned, for all the innocent people he’s called rapists, for #PuertoRico, for women, for the planet, burning in front of our eyes, and for the future.

Have you ever had an argument with a liar? They over talk, never let you finish your statements all because they are in constant fear of the truth being exposed. #Debates2020

How could Biden do a good job with the president talking over him, yelling and not letting him finish his statements

"Stand by" he said. "Stand back and stand by". Offered no condemnation.
