DEBATE DEBRIEF: Did Last Night's Presidential Debate Serve the American People?

Politicians and the press work for you, the American people, and at SmartHER News, we will never lose sight of that. Today we take a step back to discuss the first presidential debate of the 2024 election … without the clutter. Topics include: CNN’s debate formatting. Notable exchanges between the top-two Presidential candidates, including the viral golf exchange.  The nuances of fact-checking on live television. A sampling of soundbites from political commentators and politicians. The polls, plus an important caveat. The questions Jenna would ask the candidates … their standard for the U.S. Presidency and the responsibility of protecting our children, the next generation. What’s next? (A Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity, lawmakers on the record about last night’s event, Fmr. Pres. Trump’s sentencing, and the unknown.) ... and we close with the final statement of independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. during the alternative debate he hosted last night. Thank you for believing in quick, concise, nonpartisan news. Real news for real people. --------- Show Notes RFK Jr.'s Live Stream of The Real Debate - TheRealDebate.com (also available via @robertfkennedyjr on X)  CNN Presidential Debate full broadcast - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-v-8wJkmwBY
