Election 2024: Presidential Debate Takeaways

Last night's highly anticipated debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump marked the first time the two went head-to-head in this election cycle. The majority of the focus coming into Tuesday was about how Harris would handle her first-ever presidential debate with someone who had been on this stage many times. Could she answer questions about her position shifts, parry attacks from Trump, someone who tries to be the alpha on these stages, could she answer the attack that she’s light on policy and could she appear “presidential.”From the New York Public News Network, WAMC News Director Ian Pickus spoke to Tim Bruno about his reaction to the debate.
