Trump-Harris presidential debate: analysis & key points
Listen now
Description
Kamala Harris pummelled Donald Trump at their first - and potentially only - White House election debate, forcing the former president onto the defensive and subsequently winning the prized endorsement of Taylor Swift. Evening Standard deputy political editor Jitendra Joshi reports Democratic vice president Harris exploited her experience as a courtroom prosecutor to convey the Republican as unfit for office - while Trump pushed back against claims that he endangers the Constitution. In part two, Evening Standard chief theatre critic Nick Curtis is joined by Ruth Wilson to discuss ‘A Very Royal Scandal’ - which comes to Amazon Prime on 19 September. The award-winning actress plays former BBC Newsnight anchor Emily Maitlis in a new dramatisation of Prince Andrew’s nightmare interview about his friendship with convicted sex offender and late financier Jeffrey Epstein.  Hosted on Acast.
