NIKOLE KILLION WATCH IT WITH THE GROUP IN PENNSYLVANIA.>> WE ARE HERE IN A VERTICAL SWING COUNTY HERE IN PENNSYLVANIA, WHICH WENT FOR PRESIDENT BIDEN IN 2020. IN VOTER REGISTRATION IS UP THIS CYCLE. THE VOTERS WE TALKED TO LAST NIGHT DIDN'T SINCERELY SEE EYE TO EYE ON THE DEBATE, BUT THERE ARE A COUPLE THINGS THEY AGREED ON. THEY MOSTLY FELT THE CANDIDATES COULD HAVE DONE MORE TO TALK ABOUT POLICY, AND IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN LESS ON THE ATTACK.>> BY A SHOW OF HANDS, HOW MANY OF YOU THINK VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS WAS THE WINNER OF THIS DEBATE? WHY DID YOU RAISE YOUR HAND?>> VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS IS DEFINITELY A BETTER SPEAKER THAN DONALD TRUMP. THAT'S WHY I WOULD SAY SHE WON THE DEBATE ITSELF. >> NO ONE WON THE DEBATE, BUT I WOULD SAY IF PEOPLE BELIEVE IN THINKING WHATEVER THEY SAW FROM KAMALA HARRIS IS REAL, YES, SHE WAS THE WINNER OF THE DEBATE, BUT IF PEOPLE SEE THROUGH THAT FACADE, I THINK TRUMP WON THE DEBATE. >> WHAT ARE YOU TAKING WITH YOU AFTER TONIGHT'S DEBATE?>> THERE WAS A LOT OF INTERRUPTING AND EVERYTHING, BUT I DO THINK THEY MADE SOME GOOD POINTS, IT GAVE PEOPLE A BETTER DECISION ON WHO TO VOTE FOR.>> THEY MADE INTERESTING POINTS, BUT I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HAVE SEEN A LOT MORE POLICIES, I WOULD LIKE ANOTHER ONE.>> I HAVE REINFORCED MY BELIEF THAT HE IS AN EXISTENTIAL THREAT TO DEMOCRACY, JUST THE OTHER DAY STOOD UP AND HOW THE PROCLAIMED THAT YOU WILL NEVER HAVE TO VOTE AGAIN, AS HE PUT IT, I WILL HAVE THINGS SO FIXED, YOU WILL NEVER HAVE TO VOTE AGAIN. HE'S NOT KIDDING, HE MEANS AT.>> THERE WERE A NUMBER OF MOMENTS WHERE THEY TALKED ABOUT CANDIDATE'S CHANGES OVER THE ECONOMY, REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS. THEY WANTED TO HEAR MORE ABOUT THE ISSUES THAT DIDN'T COME UP, LIKE WHAT THE CANDIDATES WOULD DO TO ADDRESS VETERANS AND SOME OF THEIR ISSUES, WHAT THEY MIGHT DO TO BRING DOWN THE NATIONAL DEBT. FOR THAT REASON, THEY SAID THEY HOPE THERE IS A SECOND DEBATE. MAJOR? >> NIKOLE KILLION, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >>> WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE ABOUT MAJOR PARTY WON MICHIGAN, BUT FAILED TO CAPTURE THE NECESSARY 270 ELECTORAL VOTES TO BECOME PRESIDENT?
