Analysis of VP Harris and former Pres. Trump 2024 presidential debate

Closer Look with Rose Scott

Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump took center stage in their first presidential debate Tuesday night in Philadelphia. Reproductive rights, immigration, the Israel-Hamas war, and the economy were among some of the top issues discussed during the debate. Both sides are claiming victory, but “Closer Look,” show host Rose Scott gets debate analysis from Andra Gillespie, a political scientist at Emory University. Then, for more reaction to the debate, we hear from Scott Klug, a former Wisconsin congressman, Fred Hicks, an Atlanta-based political strategist and analyst, and GSU politics and policy professor Tammy Greer. They discuss the individual strategies of Trump and Harris during the presidential debate. They also discuss recent political polls and share what they think Democrats and Republicans must do to win the November election. Plus, Tim Franks, an award-winning veteran journalist and host of the BBC News’ flagship radio program, “Newshour” also talks with Scott about the presidential debate and the BBC’s approach to covering U.S. politics.
