NEW YORK CITY—Viewers at two watch parties in Manhattan shared mixed reactions to the performances of President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump in the first presidential debate.

At a non-partisan watch party at the chic 230 Fifth Rooftop Bar in midtown Manhattan on June 27, some in the audience cheered when President Biden made a point, but this was tempered by muted reactions from the crowd at other times.
