What we learned from last night’s presidential debate

Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump faced each other on the debate stage Tuesday night for the first time, and possibly the last time, in Philadelphia.

On this episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Politically Georgia podcast chief correspondent for Politifact, Lou Jacobson, fact-checks claims from Trump about abortion and Haitian migrants.

Then, former U.S. Rep. Carolyn Bourdeaux offers her take as a Democrat. She says Harris had great moments taking on Trump. But she also cautions that Harris must keep up this momentum.

And, on the other side of the aisle, state Sen. Jason Anavitarte offers his take as a Republican. He says Trump came out strong on the economy.
