America’s eagerly awaited presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump was one for the history books. From fierce arguments, to real-time fact-checking, to heated policy discussions, and even a Taylor Swift endorsement, it was a big night for presidential politics. But what does it all mean for the election and for voters? In this week’s episode of Capitol Gains, anchor Rachelle Akuffo, Washington Correspondent Ben Wershkul, and senior columnist Rick Newman chat with Lee Carter, President and Partner of maslansky + partners to discuss the candidates’ debate performances and whether or not either of them actually swayed voters. Carter hosted a live focus group of undecided voters during Tuesday night’s debate and says that though most people surveyed believed Harris won, not one person changed their stance on voting. “Ultimately, this election is going to come down to how people feel,” Carter explains. “It is going to impact them personally in their day-to-day lives and whichever candidate now can convince them that their financial lives, their freedoms - all of that - is going to be better off under that candidate, that’s who they are going to vote for.” With a little more than 50 days until Election Day, where do the candidates go from here and what are they going to have to do to earn Americans votes to win the White House?
