High Stakes in 2024 Election Debate
The first main point from the podcast episode highlights the significance of the upcoming presidential debate between Donald Trump and President Biden. This debate marks a crucial turning point in the 2024 election, providing voters with a rare opportunity to witness the two candidates go head-to-head. With many voters expressing reservations about both candidates, their performances in this debate could heavily influence the trajectory of the election.

However, a recent study revealed a high likelihood of skin transfer. Experts advise caution and provide tips on how to limit exposure to PFAS.
