Two very contrasting visions of America were on display during the first and possibly only presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and Former President Donald Trump. 

Debate night encapsulated the gambles that each candidate is taking in this hotly contested campaign, covering a wide range of key policy issues including the economy, abortion rights, immigration, Russian war in Ukraine, among others. 

But the question is, who has a better read on the American psyche eight weeks before the final ballots are cast?

On this episode of Morning Shot, we splice up what went down at the Harris-Trump showdown with:

- Lester Munson, Non-resident fellow from the United States Studies Centre at University of Sydney and Adjunct faculty at Johns Hopkins University

- Bhagyashree Garekar, US Bureau Chief from The Straits Times
