Well, folks, the first 2024 presidential debate certainly… happened. Regardless of where you stand in terms of your upcoming vote on November 5, there is no denying that both Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump gave us plenty of memes, jokes, and one-liners to take away from tonight’s debate. Let’s just leave processing the trauma for another day.
Whether you watched the hot mess along with us or chose to protect your peace and scroll mindlessly on TikTok instead, we’ve done you a solid during our rapid-fire Twitter session this evening. If you’re up for a little schadenfreude, read on for the 30 best live tweets about the Trump Harris debate tonight.
And so, the first 2024 presidential debate begins…
We’re locked in and clocked in, y’all.
Gonna have to agree with this sentiment.
Those of us over the age of 25 tend to avoid anxiety-inducing activities on weeknights.
David Muir, thank you for your service.
I mean, if it works for a golden retriever, I’d hope it would be effective for the leader of the free world.
The question on everyone’s minds tonight.
Venmo your journalist friends for some coffee tomorrow morning. We need it.
Meanwhile… Joe’s still being Joe.
OK, now we’re getting into the wild claims from tonight’s debate…
It’s giving Mariah Carey’s “I don’t know her” meme moment.
None of this was on my 2024 bingo card, but here we are.
No comment.
J.D. Vance is probably having a meltdown into his couch watching Trump’s debate performance tonight.
Again… there’s probably not a single molecule of un-punched air in the Vance household right now.
It’s true. I’m calling it now: a new romance genre about two debate moderators who fall in love over their shared trauma from the gig.
Like, honestly — what is happening right now?
Abe would have asked to be emancipated from being an American at this point.
We all know it’s satire but, at the same time, is it really at this point? Kind of hard to say.
SMH… he really needs to realize he didn’t just fall out of a coconut tree. More likely a million dollar private jet.
Of all the wild lies and fact-checked statements in tonight’s debate, the abortion claims were probably some of the most bewildering.
We’ve reached the point in history where the “out of context” Parks and Rec memes are now, as Vice President Harris says, “in the context.”
Honestly, my dog was snoozing next to me on the couch during the debate, and I respect that. Apparently our pets need to protect their mental health these days.
Whew, girl… relatable.
We all need a little reality check before we decide who won the debate…
Let’s start a petition for this going forward. America clearly needs her beauty sleep.
It’s time to head to bed, grandpa.
If we look at the bigger picture here, JP is absolutely correct. A cashier at Taco Bell would be held to a higher standard than the President of the United States, at this point.
We’ll let Trump have this one thing — he’s inspired some really hilarious one-liners and quips.
We could have wrapped this whole thing up right in that moment, too.
And, my personal fave, the transgender operations on illegal aliens in prison…
TOOIAWAIP is not a JOKE, Jim.
They would be fierce AF, so — what’s the problem?
We’ll end on a classic SNL throwback moment.
With that, goodnight, America. May we all dream of future elections in which we don’t have to choose between the “lesser of two evils.”
