Political science professor comments on presidential debate

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – The presidential debate Tuesday night between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Trump has gotten the country talking.

News 40 spoke to Dr. Jeffrey Budziak, an associate dean and professor of political science at Western Kentucky University, who said Harris presented herself well on stage while Trump, in his opinion, did not do a great job of swinging voters.

When asked about issues like misinformation, Budziak said, “Trump has no problem saying things that just aren’t true…” and that it would be hard not for just the media but everyday Americans to make factual decisions when a presidential candidate spouts falsehoods as confidently as truth.
