Part of the reason I'm thinking this is a short podcast is because I have a baked potato

waiting for me to be eaten and

It's only gonna stay warm for so long and given the state of my day it's like maybe the most luxury

thing that's going to happen to me today is a warm big potato at midnight in

Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

A lukewarm baked potato?

Yeah, it's going to be the cold sour cream and warm baked potato

are going to be approximately the same temperature. Hello and welcome to this late night post debate edition of the 538 politics

podcast I'm Gailin Druk I am here in Tuscaloosa Alabama and just got done

watching the debate alongside my colleagues were here to talk about it.

It was the smallest debate stage yet with just Nicky Haley, Chris,

Christie, Ron DeSantis, and Vivek Ramoswami.

The dynamics were a little bit different maybe

than debates in the past in terms of folks

really going after Nicki Haley,

but ultimately it wasn't that difference.

I don't think anyone on this podcast tonight

is going to say that tonight's debate changed the race,

but we'll get into what there is to talk about.

Maybe this won't be a particularly long podcast, but here are the. talk about

what went down is senior elections analyst Jeffrey Skelly.

Hey Jeff, welcome to the podcast.
