Overview
The 2024 CNN Presidential Debate refers to the first debate that took place during the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election between the preliminary Republican and Democratic Presidential candidates, Donald Trump and Joe Biden, which was aired on CNN in late June 2024. Following the event, many Republican and Democrat voters questioned President Joe Biden's mental aptitude in the aftermath of the debate as concerns over his age spread widely online, as well as in reporting by the media. Memes (such as I Really Don't Know What He Said at the End of That Sentence), discourse and other reactions also emerged en masse shortly after, with many Americans expressing their apathy for the upcoming election and their annoyance at the candidate options for president.
Background
On June 27th, 2024, CNN held the first official presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden, the tentative Republican and Democratic candidates for the 2024 U.S. Presidential Elections. The debate, located in Atlanta, Georgia, was streamed live on CNN's YouTube[1] channel, where it gathered over 7 million views in five hours (seen below).

Reactions Ahead Of The Debate
In the days leading up to the debate, "resistance" liberal and vocal anti-Trumper Jeff Tiedrich[2] made posts in support of Biden, writing, "Joe Biden bicycles into the debate hall, dismounts, runs up a ramp to his podium, one-handedly chugs a bottle of water, slams the empty bottle down onto the lectern and turns to Trump and says "sup, fuckface" (seen below). Tiedrich posted this line on May 15th, 2024, and again before the debate on June 27th.
