Summary
Jordan Klepper unpacks the debate aftermath including Trump's insistence that he won, Taylor Swift’s Kamala Harris endorsement, and the origin of the “immigrants eat our cats and dogs” conspiracy. After JD Vance doubles down on Trump’s claim, Ronny Chieng visits Springfield to investigate the pet-eating allegations. Plus, Michael Kosta goes to Philadelphia to get the lowdown from Pennsylvania drivers on the bizarre inner workings of the Philadelphia Parking Authority and the cost of a parking ticket. And John Heilemann, chief political columnist at Puck and host of the “Impolitic” podcast, unpacks what he witnessed at the Trump-Harris debate in Philadelphia. John offers cheesesteaks from Philly institutions and shares his perspective from the media spin room, why he thinks Kamala Harris won the evening, and whether the debate swayed undecided voters.
