    James and Al expose the incompetence of Trump and the MAGA members of Congress, analyze the presidential debate, and explore its repercussions. They explain why Kamala’s answer on immigration effectively derailed Trump, celebrate her masterful handling of the abortion issue, and break down why her focus on the future resonates so strongly with voters. They also compare the candidates' truthfulness, grade the moderators' performance, and weigh the impact of her win on the polls. With the momentum now shifting back to Vice President Harris, they call on former members of Trump’s administration who have spoken out against him to take a stand and endorse her.
