Topic: September 15 – Presidential debate recap, Project 2025 and more

This week on At Issue, Tom Hauser analyzes the recent presidential debate, Project 2025, campaign spending, and more.

Hauser first analyzes Tuesday’s presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump.

Donald Trump has also continually tried to distance himself from Project 2025, while Democrats have actively tried to link him to it. Several prominent Minnesota Democrats held a press conference on Monday to speak out against the agenda.

At the same time, outside spending on Minnesota’s 2024 congressional elections has declined.

As 5 INVESTIGATES reports, at least two cities along Metro Transit’s proposed Blue Line extension could officially reject the current design of the project in a vote scheduled to take place before October 10.

Hauser met with Republican strategist Andy Brehm and former DFL party chairman Mike Erlandson to discuss the presidential debate, current polls and the vote on the Blue Line extension.
