On this edition of Your Call’s Media Roundtable, we're discussing the first debate between President Biden and Donald Trump.
Democrats are calling on Biden to step down after he repeatedly stumbled and in many cases, made no sense, and Donald Trump made more than 30 false claims, according to CNN.
Later in the show, we'll discuss the powerful individuals behind the American Israel Public Affairs Committee's election war chest. This week, New York Representative Jamaal Bowman lost his seat to pro-Israel candidate George Latimer. Outside groups spent $23 million to unseat Bowman. Sixty percent came from AIPAC, which poured in $14 million into the race.
