For this special, breaking news episode of State House, Frank reviews the recent presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and President Donald Trump. For anyone who watched the debate themselves, it’s easy to describe the event as contentious. Frank analyzes the key issues the candidates discussed, their performance, and how the media portrayed each candidate before and after their debate performance. Frank argues that while Harris appeared articulate at most points, he believes she failed to connect with undecided voters. Trump, for his part, stood strong on the national security and economic issues his campaign has become known for. Frank ends the episode by taking a look at who really “won” the debate—in the media’s eyes, and in the eyes of the public.
