Inside Political Science #012 – Pivoting Like a Point Guard & Meme Wars: Debate Recap

Who looked more presidential during the debate? Who pivoted like a point guard? Did we learn anything? Who squirmed more? And who lost the meme war? Kirby and Todd analyze every aspect of the presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris like only political scientists can. They discuss if either candidate really answered the questions they were asked and who got distracted. Find out who they think “won” the debate - or if anyone should even be crowned the winner. Plus, is it surprising how many people watched and how long they watched? Do the moderators deserve criticism? And do recent endorsements from Taylor Swift, Robert Kennedy and Walz family members matter? Finally, did the debate change anyone’s mind? With less than two months until election day, we’re here to provide important analysis you won’t hear on the news.
