It was the first chance to see the two presidential candidates go face to face and it was standing room only at the Democrats' watch party in downtown Bakersfield.
Most at the watch party had already decided to vote for Clinton and cheered her on throughout the debate.
The loudest cheers came when Clinton talked about preparing herself to become president, her stamina to do her job and the several times she called out her opponent, Donald Trump.
In the end, those who were there just want everyone to go out and vote, regardless of their party preference.
