some of Singh's customers held a candlelight vigil outside of his store, which is now closed. Now Decision 2024. It is the day after what might be the one and only debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. Harris has asked for one more Trump so far, says no now. There were some big disagreements last night, but what we saw, will it change the minds of any voters? Our political reporter, Mary Ann Ahern is here with more reaction today. Marianne Alex, the overwhelming view is Kamala Harris came better prepared, but will that translate into winning over undecideds? Here's the top issues they focused on. And we also spoke to suburban voters in Naperville who watched. And if the debate changed any minds. People can't go out and buy cereal or bacon or eggs or anything else. The economy, one of the most talked about issues in the Trump Harris debate. Donald Trump left us the worst unemployment since the great Depression. And while Harris was seen overall as the debate winner on the economy, political strategist Pete Giangreco saw missed opportunities on Trump's part. You would have thought that all Donald Trump had to say was things were better four years ago than they are now. He failed to get that message out. Likewise, in suburban Napervill, debate viewers weigh in. I want my money to work, you know, and you know, the Democrats, they just give the money away. I don't like that. I think if Kamala does some of the things that she says she's going to do, she might be okay. But I still want Trump. The other top issue discussed abortion after that, Trump focused on immigration. Harris on democracy. Political science professor Stephen Maynard Caliendo. There's got to be so few people who don't know how they're going to vote at this point, but that's all it takes in a couple of key states. The most watched debates were in 2016 Clinton versus Trump, 1980 Reagan versus Carter. Last night, there was an increase in viewers from the Juneway Biden versus Trump debate. Northwestern communications and journalism professor Heather Hendershot on the biggest takeaway. Everyone is saying that that Harris did very well, and I have to agree with that, she prepared very well. She had a game plan, it was very easy to bait Donald Trump, and he took the bait. Right. Some viewers had debate watch rules, even from their own living rooms. I watched with my husband. We promised not to talk to each other. We promised not to get upset, just to keep our mouths shut. And listen. And when it was over, how did you and your husband. Did you agree? No Well, of course they did not agree. Although she did say they've been married for more than 60 years. And they don't always agree. But they did watch together. Also noteworthy those who timed the amount of time spoken say that Trump actually had five more minutes than Harris. Now, what's next? That debate is over. They head back to the campaign trail, and I don't know exactly whether we're going to see another debate, but that's what we'll tackle at 5:00. Okay Sounds good. Also interesting though, always the day after. And the reaction. Lots of reactions. Everyone we stopped.
