She added: "We can't let him get away with it. In America, everyone deserves dignity, freedom and equality."

"Avengers: Endgame" star Mark Ruffalo slammed Trump over his Supreme Court pick, Amy Coney Barrett.

"President Trump is right now trying to use the Supreme Court to strip Healthcare away from millions of Americans and has said he will use the Supreme Court to win the election," Ruffalo tweeted. "Remember Justice Ginsburg's dying wishes were to appoint a justice after the election."

Ruffalo added later: "It would be great of come back to ANYTHING APPROACHING NORMAL! Donald has put this country on it's head, his leadership is Chaos. We can watch this debate and see how little he knows about working with anyone. That is why he let Covid kill 200K people. No Plan! #Debates2020."

After the debate was over, Ruffalo declared Biden the winner: What is clear, when you look at poise, decency, honesty, and respect one thing is clear. #BidenWon #Debates2020 #WithBidenWeCan."

"This debate comes at a solemn moment," actress Patricia Arquette wrote. "Over 200,000 Americans have died of Covid with no end in sight. Trump is not the man to lead the country in this emergency."

The debate was moderated by "Fox News Sunday" anchor Chris Wallace and covered topics such as the coronavirus, the Supreme Court, the economy, the integrity of the election -- as well as Biden's and Trump's records.

Biden, 77, participated in primary debates earlier this year while seeking the Democratic nomination, with his opponents at those events including Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., who is now Biden's running mate. Harris is set to take on Vice President Mike Pence in a vice presidential debate Oct. 7.

Trump, 74, last debated in 2016, when he faced that year's Democratic presidential nominee, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
