What was the outcome of the first kenedy -Nixon debate?

The first Kennedy-Nixon debate, held on September 26, 1960, is widely regarded as a turning point in U.S. political history. John F. Kennedy's confident and charismatic performance contrasted sharply with Richard Nixon's more reserved demeanor, particularly as Nixon appeared tired and unwell.
