The Campaign Moment: Trump accepted Biden’s debate proposal. Now what?

Martine Powers chats with Aaron Blake, author of the Post newsletter The Campaign Moment, and national political reporter Michael Scherer. They delve into the most important political moments of this past week. Listen for these conversations most Fridays during the 2024 campaign.

It’s Friday, so it’s time for The Campaign Moment — our weekly roundtable conversation to help you keep track of the biggest developments of the 2024 campaign. Senior political reporter Aaron Blake, who writes The Post’s new newsletter by the same name, and national political reporter Michael Scherer join Martine Powers this week. There is a lot to dig into about the debates agreed to this week by President Biden and former president Donald Trump. Also on the must-chat list: the latest from the hush money trial in New York, the reporting by Michael and Post colleagues on the Trump campaign’s “leaner” ground strategy and the implications of some of the latest polling. 


You can now also follow The Campaign Moment in a new feed to hear extra episodes from Aaron and our politics team as the campaign year continues.
