Last night’s presidential debate immediately led to some contentious responses among pundits and politicos on both sides of the aisle.
The back-and-forth between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, combined with a series of lies and mumbles, led many to question what’s next for the campaigns and our country. It also led to a myriad of responses from party faithful who are attempting to make the case to voters that the decision in November is clear.

U.S. Sen. John Fetterman
