First 2024 Presidential Debate Watch Party

Dozens of Pickaway County Republicans gathered at Gibby’s Eatery and Sports Bar in Circleville on Thursday night to watch the first Presidential debate of the 2024 election. The mood was apprehensive at first, with concerns about how President Trump would respond to the unique debate format which featured no crowd and moderators' ability to cut off the debaters' microphones when they go too long.

However, once President Biden lost his train of thought, stumbled over his words, and was unable to finish his response to the very first debate question, the room became electric with excitement. It was clear that the debate was going to be a disaster for Biden.

“President Trump succeeded in appearing measured, strong, and ready to lead the country again. By all accounts this was a slam dunk performance for him” Chairman Ricketts stated.

“This was in stark contrast to President Biden’s performance. He had to assure the country he wasn’t too old for the job … and he blew it. Liberal pundits can no longer deny what Republicans have been saying for years. Biden’s mental decline is obvious for all to see and a threat to our country. 

President Trump won Pickaway county by 72% in 2020. After this debate an 80% win is clearly possible and the Pickaway GOP is working hard to make that happen.

President Trump will restore the US economy, secure our borders, and reestablish American leadership on the world stage.”
