Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton squared off against each other in the first presidential debate, so of course, people around the nation had plenty to say.
Some people did some fact checking for each candidate, while others took expected digs at the Republican and Democratic nominees, with several reactions on either side. Many topics started trending during the night, as well, whether from a strong statement by a candidate or just what either was discussing.
Here’s what people were saying while the presidential debate was taking place:
