Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump take the stage Tuesday night for their first Presidential debate. The only debate on the books before November’s election, it’s being held in the key swing state of Pennsylvania. Political analysts are watching for how the two challenge each other on the key issues of immigration, health care and the economy – as well as for the pair’s cadence and debate strategies. Mics will only be turned on for the candidate speaking; there will be no in-room audience. Thirty percent of Americans say the debate will inform their vote, according to a NPR-Marist poll released Tuesday morning. We’ll recap the major takeaways with KQED’s politics team and hear your reactions.

Guests:

Marisa Lagos, politics correspondent, KQED - co-host of KQED's Political Breakdown

Scott Shafer, senior editor, KQED’s California Politics and Government; co-host, Political Breakdown

Guy Marzorati, correspondent, KQED's California Politics and Government Desk
