    With all of the theories about the next best steps for each party, Kellyanne and David give us their take on what's being discussed behind-the-scenes this week.

And why is there a continually growing voter gap between presidential candidates and their congressional counterparts?  Later in the episode, The Campaign Managers are joined by journalist and analyst, John Heilemann, to talk about the uphill battle Biden currently faces, the sometimes blurred lines of objective reporting, and why split-ticket voting may play a big factor in the upcoming election.

    Post-Debate Analysis and What's Next for Each Campaign (w/ Jason Miller and Craig Gilbert)

    It's a guest-filled week for the Campaign Managers. First, we get David and Kellyanne's thoughts on the first debate, and how each of them would have handled the highs and the lows.  Then, the two invite senior advisor to Trump's 2024 campaign, Jason Miller, onto the show to discuss his behind-the-scenes analysis of the last debate, how close he believes the 2024 election will become, and why it's important for the campaign message to match the actions of the candidate.  After Jason, the Campaign Managers are joined by an expert on Wisconsin's always-important battleground electorate, Craig Gilbert, to talk about the significant effects of voter enthusiasm, what is currently causing the biggest divide amongst the voters in Wisconsin, and how debate performance will (or will not) influence voter behaviors this election.
