    The first Presidential debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump Thursday night ended with an exchange with both candidates accusing the other of being childish.

    Toward the end of the debate portion of the event, before closing statements, the two presidential candidates squabbled over the ability of the other to play golf . Trump claimed that he had won multiple club championships when Biden challenged him to a golf match in which both men carried their own clubs.

    The exchange closed:

    "Let's not act like children," Trump told Biden.

    Replied Biden: "You are a child."

    The close of the debate typified the heated night that saw Biden stumble at the beginning but steady himself enough to call Trump a "sucker" and a "loser."
