Twitter is reacting to the acrimonious Oct. 10 debate between Ohio’s U.S. Senate candidates Republican J.D. Vance and Democrat Tim Ryan.

During the debate – the first between the two candidates – Ryan, a 10-term congressman, accused Vance of starting a fake nonprofit to help opioid-addicted Ohioans. Vance, an author and venture capitalist, accused Ryan of putting on a “costume” in which he pretends to be a moderate for Halloween.

On abortion, Ryan said he opposes the recently blocked six-week ban in Ohio. Vance, who is anti-abortion, said he wants states to have the freedom to make their own abortion laws; that was before Vance claimed the man indicted for raping a 10-year-old in Ohio was an undocumented immagrant.

Recent polling shows the two candidates are in a tight race as of press time, with Ryan outraising and outspending Vance.

WJW-TV (Fox 8) hosted the debate in Cleveland for a national audience and polled viewers on who they think won in the face-off, with 60% saying Vance was the clear winner. However, Twitter was aflame with thoughts on the contrary. Users on the platform especially have reacted to one moment in particular, when Ryan dragged Vance for letting former President Donald Trump call Vance an “ass-kissser” during a September rally in Youngstown.

Ryan and Vance are running to fill GOP Sen. Rob Portman’s seat in the Nov. 8 election. Oct. 11 is the deadline to register to vote in Ohio. Early voting begins Oct. 12. The general election is Nov. 8.

Scroll through for all the hot takes on the debate (tweets may take a moment a load).

We all knew it was coming, but it’s still a gut punch. State elections have never been more important: legislative, Governor, State Supreme Court. Vote like our lives depend on it.— Allison Russo🌻 (@Russo4Ohio) June 24, 2022
I’ve watched a lot of debates in my life. I have never witnessed a complete, utter and total dismantling like @TimRyan just did to @JDVance1. That’s my guy. 🇺🇸— Rep. Casey Weinstein (@RepWeinstein) October 11, 2022
Fully expected Tim Ryan to walk away with a win. Didn’t expect him to walk away with Vance’s balls.— Brian Tyler Cohen (@briantylercohen) October 11, 2022
This is no longer a hypothetical. The Court’s decision to overrule Roe means that if Gov. Mike DeWine is reelected, he’ll take Ohioans back to a time where abortion was criminalized. Access to an abortion and reproductive care is on the ballot.pic.twitter.com/I3fQ6IYJ6Z https://t.co/nFiedXYmY9— Nan Whaley (@nanwhaley) June 24, 2022
What Tim Ryan did to JD Vance tonight in the Ohio Debate might actually be classified as a crime. My God even I was screaming "Good Lord Tim Get Off Him!!! He's down! He's down! For Christ's sake is JD Vance breathing?!?!"— Texas Paul Schroder (@Paultx890) October 11, 2022
WOW: JD Vance explaining his position on marijuana: "We gotta be careful here not to be soft on crime" launches into bizarre made up story about how people in prison for marijuana actually beat an elderly woman with a pistol(?????) #ohiosendebate pic.twitter.com/yWItJEks3P— Pat Dennis (@patdennis) October 10, 2022

Tim Ryan was terrible in the debate – canned and fake.Ohio needs a fighter like @jdvance1!— Ronna McDaniel (@GOPChairwoman) October 11, 2022
I'm a Republican, but I think Tim Ryan won the Ohio Senate debate. JD Vance is not that great of a candidate.— Patrick Murray (@PatrickMurray44) October 11, 2022
