(NewsNation) — The first presidential debate of the 2024 election has come to a close, and political experts joined NewsNation to discuss the format, content and how the candidates stacked up against each other.

NewsNation hosts Dan Abrams and Elizabeth Vargas joined Chris Cuomo to discuss some of the hottest debate topics: Was Joe Biden all there? Was Donald Trump different than his opponents believe? Will tonight make a difference?

"I think [the debate] could make a difference. I'm not sure it's the difference that the Biden campaign wants it to make," Vargas said.
