We offer analysis of the first debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. How did each candidate fare? We discuss the debate format, what stood out about their overall performances and demeanors, their answers on policy issues, and how much impact this match-up will have on the presidential race.

Jonathan was born in Monsey, New York. A field trip to Washington, DC when he was in 7th grade started him on his circuitous path to a career in public radio. The trip inspired a love of politics and led to his desire to one day call DC home. After graduating from Grinnell College, he worked on a couple of campaigns in Iowa (presidential and congressional) and moved to Washington, DC.
