High-profile debates took place in Wisconsin and Michigan on Thursday.

Two debates were hosted in marquee political races in Wisconsin and Michigan, both battleground states. Catch up on what happened:

Read four takeaways from the debate.

Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes, a Democrat trailing in Wisconsin polls and getting hammered by an onslaught of negative television advertising in his race to unseat Senator Ron Johnson, a Republican, tried mightily on Thursday evening in their debate to shift his campaign’s momentum. But he failed to create a singular moment destined to go viral on social and broadcast media.

It was a lively affair after last week’s relatively staid debate, but it is unlikely to change the course of the election.

We have five takeaways from the debate.

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat, and Tudor Dixon, her Republican challenger, on Thursday gave debate viewers a clear contrast of the choice they will have on the Nov. 8 ballot: an outsider versus an experienced politician.

It was the first governor’s race in the state in which both contenders are women. Their next debate will be Oct. 25.
