The attacks turned personal as Republican Donald Trump accused his rival Hillary Clinton of not having the right stamina to be president just as Mrs. Clinton baited Mr. Trump by pointing out that he refuses to release his tax returns.
Hours before the debate, polls suggested the candidates were locked in a dead heat, adding to the tension between the rivals on stage throughout the debate.
Mrs. Clinton quipped when prompted to respond after one of Mr. Trump’s attacks.
Mr. Trump was later thrown on the defensive by moderator Lester Holt for not disclosing his tax returns.
He promised he would release them if his opponent released 33,000 emails that were deleted during an investigation into her private email set-up while secretary of state.
One key exchange was over Mr. Trump’s long-held belief that President Barack Obama was born outside the US, a position he finally reversed two weeks ago.
The debate was the first of three between the two candidates, and the American voters go to the polls on 8 November.
