Debates shape Ford Carter race amid public TV scrutiny
The article analyzes how Ford and Carter fared across three presidential debates. Ford looked self assured in the first clash, narrowing Carter’s lead after a Playboy interview, while Carter gained the edge in the second debate with aggressive style. Both performed well in the final, leaving analysts split on who won overall. Carter’s broader TV exposure increased recognition, yet Ford remained competitive as ballots near.
