How can the race possibly be close! I dont get it! The choice seems obvious! At least to me, a proud Canadian!

I'm sorry, we can watch a 2 hour movie and pretty much claim we know the characters.... lol
But we don't know Kamala Harris yet?
I think the media loves to tag her as "people don't know her yet"..
Not true.
We all know who she is, and what she represents.
Cut the crap already
Find another script to go by
You're being silly

Kamala should invite E. Jean Carrol, Stormy Daniels, Central Park 5, Micheal Cohan, Obama, Liz Cheney to sit in the audience. 😂

[tejanoj]

Will Trump be asked to explain how tariffs work?

[bikebudha]

terrible coverage. Instead of laying out each candidates positions, they chit-chat and speculate...

[saintonerism]

I don't understand why these media outlets do not talk about what the real issue is....DEMOCRACY or AUTOCRACY. Everything else is not as important!!!

[yahtoray]

Governor Walz needs to campaign in those rural states.

[hwnsrfaboy]

And…half the country dont care about insurrection, coups and derogatory and disrespectful words and actions for the military and veterans

[lastpme]

It breaks my heart the polls are close, after the pandemic and 6 Jan 21 events, he should not have been the GOP nominee.

As if people don’t already know how the Craze will conduct himself…really?! Sadly, the media / voters somehow give the Craze a free pass on his behavior.

Allan Lichtman!!! I hope that man is right! We just have to make his prediction a reality! Vote Blue! 💙

[lindahurley]

Wow these media call Trump president and just says Harris team how shameful are you she's vice president ok

[whattheywontsayiwillsay]

He ended up getting trashed and delusionally thinking he’s winning

[sheh.]

Intelligent, composed, dignified, sensible, poised, sophisticated compassionate, 💙🇺🇸🙏🏾 what I prefer to see from our elected leaders

[paultran]

Kamala can’t do anything and people want to vote for her 😂.
This is so stupid

[rollingmancave]

The Orange Clown fish is the flip-floppiest species known to man.

[olivianuamah]

Sane washing. Did he really say he is quick in his feet with tough questions? Crazinesss.

[davidgiles]

Trump saying "you don't know what to expect" is comical and factual. We do know what to expect, but, he's constantly EXCEEDING expectations. To the lowest bar level ever.

[lautaroaguilar]

Undecided in NV. I’ll see what this debate has in store.

[valentinomayol]

for trump 47 percent, 45 percent for harris, they reversed the number.
