We will never give up, we will never conceive, we make it better and bolder than ever before.

We are not going back. Welcome to sidebar from the Washington Post.

I'm Libby Casey coming to you

from the Washington Post Newsroom and I'm joined by my

colleague senior video journalist J. M. Reiger political mastermind,

watcher of endless hours of Fox News. We are very grateful J.M. and the person who pretty much knows everything about politics.

So thank you for being here with us. We're also joined from Concord, New Hampshire by columnist and

editorial writer James Homen, who's not so shabby either.

Well, gentlemen, the big Trump-Harris debate is just days away

and the last presidential debate was a game changer.

The square off, as we all know, between Donald Trump and Joe Biden back in June, set in motion

a series of events that led to Biden's shocking exit from the race in July and Kamala Harris's rapid

ascension to the top of the Democratic ticket. A lot is at stake in this next

debate. We'll talk all about it and preview it. Later in the show, Donald Trump has made headlines on the campaign trail by saying he will vote against a Florida ballot amendment that would overturn the state's six-week abortion ban.

But that was after saying he didn't really like the six-week limit, it was too restrictive.

He's had to do some political cleanup.

We'll dive into how the abortion issue is one of the most consequential potentially in this election.

And finally, Trump's legal troubles and trials continue, even if it is at a snail's pace,

so we'll update you on Trump's legal docket.

Let's dive in.

Harris and Trump will meet for the first time on stage in Philadelphia on Tuesday night.

The heart of a key city in a key state, so many eyes on Pennsylvania right now. I was shocked to realize they had not met before.
