In the presence of 67 million worldwide viewers, The Great Debate, like no other, resulted in spectacular results earlier this week when Vice President Kamala Harris presented her reasons why she would make a better President than former President Donald Trump. The results weren't even close. Harris, who won the debate, dealt a crushing blow to Trump who didn't want to shake her hand at the beginning of the event, never looked her in the face, and never called her by her name.
Carole walks you through a play-by-play commentary of who said what and how the candidates answered each question. ABC's David Muir and Linsey Davis were effective moderators by both asking solid questions while fact-checking live when the answers didn't match up.
Even if you missed the live broadcast of the debate, this podcast offers a comprehensive review of the entire event, from its commencement to its conclusion. So, whether you're settling in with a bowl of popcorn or gearing up for a workout, get ready to delve into the stark differences between these two candidates!
