ABC News is hosting the second presidential debate on Tuesday, Sept. 10, at 9 p.m. Eastern.
It will be the first time Harris and Trump debate each other. For this discussion assignment, please watch the 2024 presidential debate between Vice President Harris and Former Preside Trump), as well as the after-debate analysis. Don’t limit yourself to watching the analysis on the debate only on one network. Rather, watch both CNN and FOX analysis, as well as any other that you’d like so that you are not introduced to one-sided opinions. Also, read about the debate, before and after it happens, in various sources.
When you have done your preparation, discuss the debate as far as the economics is concerned, looking at “economics” in broad terms. In other words, how do you think the stated comments of each presidential candidate is likely to affect the economy, even if they were not directly taking about the economy. After you are done posing your original comments, make sure to respond to at least two comments from two of your fellow class members. ********************************
