Some of the most common phrases heard from voters included “very disappointed and concerned about our country”, “it was quite interesting” and “could be better.”
Those were just a few of the responses that both Republican and Democratic voters at Nashville International Airport shared with News 2 after watching the debate.
“I thought the debate only took a couple minutes in to already realize what I think everyone was wondering across the country,” voter Gabe Poirot said. “Is this really the leader of the free world in front of me right now who can’t even speak a coherent sentence?”
“I thought [at] the debate, neither one did a terrific job. Of course, I’m a Republican. Biden did not do well at all,” voter Sherrie Walter said. “I thought Trump didn’t get to the issues that he should have talked about more and they they argued amongst each other.”
