The aftermath of the recent presidential debate has left voters in a state of confusion and frustration, marking a historical moment where neither candidate seems to inspire confidence. Trump's assertive falsehoods and Biden's faltering performance have led to an increased sense of disillusionment among the electorate.

This sentiment was palpable outside a Whole Foods in downtown Denver, where registered Democrat Matthew Toellner expressed conflicted feelings about his support for Biden, reflecting the broader uncertainties faced by many Americans. Meanwhile, Arabia Simeon, a Detroit entrepreneur, finds herself politically homeless, doubting the viability of both options.

As Trump continues to be impervious to factual accuracy, and Biden attempts to rally his base with renewed vigour, the real question remains: How will these debates shape the final decision for an increasingly disheartened voter base?
