The Campaign Moment: Harris knocks Trump off balance

In their first – and possibly only – debate, Vice President Kamala Harris and former president Donald Trump faced off Tuesday night in Philadelphia. Harris got under Trump’s skin and put him on the defensive as they sparred over key issues like abortion.

Post Reports co-host Martine Powers talks with senior political reporter Aaron Blake about what each candidate needed to do in this debate to win over voters in an incredibly tight race. They also talk about whether a new endorsement from Taylor Swift could give Harris an edge.

Today’s show was produced and mixed by Ted Muldoon and Laura Benshoff. It was edited by Lucy Perkins and Mary Jo Murphy.
