Celebrities React to Presidential Debate: Hollywood’s Take

The recent presidential debate was met with harsh criticism from some big names in Hollywood. Prominent Democrats like Barbra Streisand and John Cusack were quick to point out what they perceived as unfairness in the moderators’ handling of the debate. Streisand specifically criticized the moderators for allowing Donald Trump to change the subject at will, while Cusack blamed CNN for shirking their responsibilities.

While some Hollywood stars, like Bette Midler, Jesse Williams, Mark Hamill, and Jeri Ryan, took aim at both Trump and the moderators, there were also notable Republicans in Tinseltown who praised the former president’s performance. Roseanne Barr, known for her outspoken conservative views, expressed sadness rather than amusement at Biden’s performance, highlighting what she saw as his clear lack of presence during the debate.

Caitlyn Jenner and comedian Jamie Kennedy didn’t hold back in their critiques of Biden’s performance. Jenner pointed to what she saw as a “major mental decline” in Biden, while Kennedy joked about the President’s apparent struggles, suggesting that even signing up for Netflix would be a challenge for him, let alone running a country.

Biden’s lackluster performance did not go unnoticed by the public, with many criticizing his barely audible voice, failure to answer questions coherently, and moments of lost train of thought during the debate. A CNN poll revealed that 67% of respondents believed Trump outperformed Biden in the debate, raising concerns about the upcoming election and the candidates’ preparedness for the challenges ahead.

In the midst of the political chaos, Hollywood’s voices added another layer of commentary to the debate. The polarized reactions from celebrities underscored the deep divisions within the country, echoing the larger discourse surrounding the upcoming election. As the countdown to election day continues, the spotlight on the candidates will only intensify, with both supporters and critics closely scrutinizing every aspect of their performances.
