Immediately after the debate, the CBS News Battleground Tracker interviewed likely voters nationwide who watched the debate in order to get their reaction.
The first presidential debate between Trump and Biden featured a chaotic series of bitter exchanges and interruptions.

Mr. Trump attacked Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, in one of the most contentious exchanges of the first presidential debate.
"I think masks are OK," the president said during the first debate.

Wednesday is also a major fundraising deadline for both candidates.
