00:08Jon Stewart and others are reacting to Joe Biden and Donald Trump's first presidential
00:12debate of 2024.
00:14The Daily Show host dived right into roasting the performances of both candidates, which
00:18aired on CNN on Thursday night.
00:20Both men came out and, oh, yes, OK.
00:24And then, of course, both men are ambulatory.
00:27They are both upright.
00:28Stewart was particularly concerned by Biden's performance, with the president seeming shaky
00:33on stage during CNN's 90-minute telecast.
00:36The host rolled clips of conservatives claiming Biden would use performance-enhancing drugs
00:40to be charged up during the debate.
00:43Both of these men should be using performance-enhancing drugs.
00:47The host played a clip of Biden seemingly blanking out and losing his train of thought
00:51about 10 minutes into the debate.
00:55Stewart also ripped Trump for saying a great many things that were obviously false.
01:18CNN analysts also weighed in criticizing Biden's performance, with former White House communications
01:23director Alyssa Farrah Griffin concluding,
01:25"'I'm someone who believes the former president is a threat to democracy.
01:29I think he's a threat to the America, and we know he wants to fundamentally change our
01:32institutions.
01:34He has laid out what his plan is.
01:35I am not confident that Biden is the man to take him on."
