Today on NOW and NEXT:

It was billed as the most consequential Presidential Debate in more than a generation. Although, it's arguable, the Biden vs. Trump tilt in June might have taken top spot when you consider President Biden's free fall from grace as the presumptive Democratic nominee. 

Okay, let's call it a toss up. Either way, the September 10th debate on ABC was a critical campaign point as we head towards Election Day on Novermber 5th in the United States.

By most measures, Vice President Kamala Harris won the day. As John Wright at Maru Public Opinion put it, "She was the first person who didn't whither under Trump's barrages of name calling."

To top it off, Taylor Swift posted here "endorsenment" for Harris mere minutes after the debate finished. Professor David Schultz at Hamline University in Minnesota had expected a Swift endorsement would come as an "October Surprise" but it came a month early.

More voters have registered since the debate. It's likely the Harris campaign will enjoy a sharp increase in campaign donations. But will her performance a difference among the undecided and uncommitted voters in the key swing states?
