Shownotes Transcript

Jon covered the first presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump on The Daily Show, and yet he’s still talking about it on his podcast, The Weekly Show. He just won’t let it go. In an election cycle where debates have been more impactful than ever, what influence has the first, and perhaps only, meeting between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump had on voters? To unpack the debate and its implications for each campaign, we’re joined by Ashley Parker, Senior National Political Correspondent for The Washington Post, and David Graham, staff writer at The Atlantic. Together, we explore how debate formats constrain real messaging, which candidates gained or lost ground, and, of course, where the campaigns go from here.
