Hi there, everyone. It is 4:00 in new york with 55 days to go ahead of election day. The first and potentially only debate between kamala harris and the disgraced twice impeopled four timed indicts expresident has injected a jolt into the race thanks to a masterful performance by kamala harris. We turn that 90minute debate watched by a whopping 57. 75 million people into what the new york times called a quote referendum on donald trump.

That image there of vice president kamala harris from the moment she took the stage, walking straight up to donald trump and introducing herself. And insisting on shaking his hand set the tone for her control of the room for the next 90 minutes and what would prove to be a powerful reminder that donald trump, who had seven prior presidential debates was immediately outmatched by vice president harris s talent and prosecutorial skills. And i m going to actu

The latest on the storm Coming Up and whether it could get worse before it gets better. Lots to get to on a wednesday. But today, theres no debate about the most important measure of the harris trump faceoff. Did it move undecided voters . Looking at the early analysis, the answer maybe found in three words. Bait and switch. The campaign clearly signalled she would bait Donald Trump. She did numerous times, and he took it. During the course of his Rattle Lirks he talks about fingsal characters like hasnt billion elector and people start leeing his rallies early out of exhaustion and boredom. First to the rallies.

Every contrast that defined the 2024 president ial election could very well be distilled in to 90 minutes on one of the biggest stages of this Campaign Season so far.

As we reported before, he told more than 30,000 lies over the course of his presidency. Countless more since then.
