It was to give voters a chance to listen to them, to take their measure, to listen about

their policy positions, to get a view of their character and their personality.

And that's different from what I would usually do as a journalist.

It was not about me, it was not about them in a way.

It was about the voters who were watching.

This is Sarah and Beth, your listening to Pantzuit Politics.

The home of Grace filled political conversations.

Hello everyone, thank you for joining us for this episode of Pantzuit Politics.

We're going to talk about just how things are going generally in the world and about the

next presidential debates cancellation, the Senate confirmation hearing that's underway.

And then in the main segment, we're going to hear from very special guests, Susan Page,

of USA Today, moderator of the Vice Presidential Debate.

And we have a wide ranging discussion with her about the debate itself, all the way through

the insights that she has for us as she works on a new biography about Speaker Pelosi.

So you want to stick around, don't miss it.

We'll end as always with what's on our minds outside of politics.

Before we get started, we have a very special announcement.

We are going to host a live virtual.

We're calling it pre-election political therapy on Friday, October 23rd at 8 p.m. Eastern

through looped.

It's really cool.

You can buy a ticket to the live event.
