Debate Today

Are you watching Thursday evening’s Trump v. Biden presidential debate? It is on CNN for 90 minutes, beginning 9 p.m. Eastern/6 p.m. Pacific.

We hope so. We hope you’ll use the debate as a chance to compare/contrast in these columns the arguments made and policies championed by former President Trump and President Biden. You can help us answer such questions as “who won?” and “what were the best and worst arguments?” Or, “How will Biden’s or Trump’s policies help or hurt my family?” Did it change your mind about either candidate?

If you typically make such comments on Facebook or Instagram or TikTok or X, you can make your voice heard here, without echo chambers or silos. The Hustings is designed to engage liberals and conservatives along their wide spectrums – from “moderate” to “staunch” or “progressive” in a civil, safe space. 

Click on the headline in the right or left column, as aligns with your political philosophy, and enter your comments in the COMMENTS section on the appropriate page.

Or, email editors@thehustings.news and please indicate whether you lean right or left (regardless of which presidential candidate you think has won the debate) in the subject line.

It's Debate Week, Everyone

Beaches, European vacations and Justice Clarence Thomas’ motor coach awaits as the Supreme Court enters the last week of June with important cases still on the docket, not the least of which is United States of America v. Donald J. Trump. That’s the one in which the former president is charged by special counsel Jack Smith for attempting to overturn results of the 2020 presidential election, culminating in the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Will the Supreme Court rule this week on whether the former president has immunity as a former president? They will have to if they are to keep from returning in July, which hardly ever happens. 

That probably leaves Friday, as SCOTUS does not really want to put its finger on the scales prior to the Trump v. Biden debate on CNN Thursday. 

We invite you – no, we encourage you – to make your comments on Trump’s immunity claim and other breaking news this week. We really would like your comments, from the left or right, on the debate after the debate Thursday evening.

Please email your comments to editors@thehustings.news and indicate your political leanings (regardless of who you think wins the debate) in the subject line.
