- Thursday saw the first debate between President Joe Biden and former president Donald Trump since 2020
- Residents in Lansing plan to vote despite the lack of change and age of the candidates

A barbershop in REO Town is one place to go to talk politics or just about anything.
“It’s a range of things,” says Paul Trowbridge, owner of Cuttin Up Barbershop.
Trowbridge likes to call barbers ‘unlicensed psychiatrists’ because of the number of stories and issues they solve with the customers whose hair he trims, fades and shaves.
On Thursday he was with a customer named DeJuan Everett, a man who was unenthusiastic about this year’s election.
Everett’s hope is going down as he feels he’s nothing but a vote to politicians on both sides of the aisle.
“I feel strung along,” Everett said. “You hope for that change. But do we see it? I don’t know.”
