The final question of the programme focuses on the US economy, which polling consistently shows is top of mind for voters.
Is Trump the only one who can improve the economy? is what the panel are asked.
White, a Republican Pennsylvania state representative, is first to speak – she says Americans have seen higher prices in food, fuel and energy under the Biden-Harris administration.
This is a “major” concern, she says, before going on to claim that “illegal immigration undermines American workers wages”.
But the BBC’s Zurcher, also on the panel, says unemployment is low, inflation is down and the economy is growing – though he notes that prices are higher under this administration than the last.
He adds that the Covid-19 pandemic is a key part of comparing these numbers. Inflation is a “post-Covid global phenomenon,” Zurcher says, and it is not just the US facing this problem.
