 Hi, I'm Christian Paz, senior politics reporter at Vox. The Today Explained team thought the best way to open today's show would be to just have me read the tweets I sent out while watching last night's debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. So here we go. Right off the gate, I tweeted, what the F you? I didn't finish the curse, but not a great sign. That one was shortly followed by, what is going on? No question mark. And then I wrote, God, I love democracy, just like Chancellor slash Emperor Palpatine.
