Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Bette Midler and Barbra Streisand lead celebrity reactions to Trump Biden debate
Caption: Bette Midler and Barbra Streisand lead celebrity reactions to Trump Biden debate. The divas, and others, took to their social media accounts to express their views after the first presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden ahead of this year's American federal election. Bette, 78, wrote on X/Twitter: "All my friends are taking their blood pressure medicine now, preparing for the debate. I wonder how many TV screens are going to be broken tonight?”. As the televised debate took place, Bette called out 78-year-old Donald's remarks, writing: "My God, the way this f**ker lies. It's just astonishing.” Meanwhile, Barbra, 82, argued the debate had little to do with governance, writing: "Debates are not governing. They are about televised theatrics. Biden is accomplished at governing. He is experienced and has accomplished a great deal.” Horror writer Stephen King, 76, felt the debate was cheapened politics, writing: "DEBATE NIGHT IN AMERICA! Sweet Jesus! The networks are packaging this as entertainment, like a boxing match, and selling democracy down the river. It's a shame.” Star Wars star Mark Hamill, 72, had low expectations ahead of the event: "Keeping my expectations low for this debate considering the highlight last time was "Will you shut up, man?!”" THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
