Can going full throttle in a debate actually backfire? In this episode of Whine & Dine, I’m unpacking the fiery showdown between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. Trump’s no stranger to dominating the stage, but I’ll explore how his aggressive style might have overshadowed his own biggest achievements—like his economic and foreign policy wins.

On the flip side, Kamala Harris kept her cool, using that prosecutor’s edge to stay sharp under pressure. I’ll also take a look back at Ronald Reagan’s famous debate comeback and ask whether Trump might need a similar moment. Join me as I break down how their contrasting styles could influence public opinion and shift the election outcome.
