What a mess.
America collectively sighed on Thursday night as the U.S. Presidential Debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump aired live. The contentious and, at times, bewildering exchange left many viewers disheartened.
Former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III took to social media to voice his thoughts, capturing the sentiment of many Americans. In a series of posts on X, Griffin expressed frustration with the state of the debate and the need for a generational shift in political leadership.
“My God, this Presidential debate proves that we need younger presidential candidates,” Griffin III wrote on X. His post quickly gained traction, amassing over 4 million views within three hours.

Griffin, who now serves as an ESPN college football and NFL analyst, didn’t hold back in his critique. “Our Presidential candidates in the middle of a debate argued about their golf handicaps. This Presidential debate is a sitcom,” he posted, highlighting the trivial nature of some of the exchanges.
In another post, he invited Americans to share their thoughts: “Okay America, the Presidential Debate is over. This is a safe space. After tonight, who are you voting for and why?”
The general consensus among viewers seemed to be one of disappointment, with many feeling that neither candidate emerged as a clear winner. One fan echoed this sentiment, writing, “I don’t care who you like, but you cannot honestly sit there and say Biden,” a comment that resonated with many, garnering numerous likes.
As Independence Day approaches, the debate left a sour taste for many, failing to inspire a sense of national pride.
The chaotic and often unproductive discourse underscored the frustrations felt by a populace yearning for more substantive and visionary leadership.
