Good Morning,
Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton and Republican candidate Donald Trump met for a town hall debate Sunday night, leading many viewers to talk about which candidate is best for the office of president.
But beyond Clinton and Trump the debate has lead to discussion over another character from the debate: Ken Bone.
Bone, an uncommitted voter from the St. Louis area, asked both candidates a question concerning energy production and soon became an internet meme because of his demeanor and appearance, especially his mustache and bright red sweater.
His name has been trending on Twitter since the debate, and Washington Post analysts have even called him a “hero.”
“I’m not a man of great means so the way I can give back to the community right now is politically, trying to make sure everyone has the rights that they deserve and trying to get the message out that everyone’s voice needs to be heard,” Bone said in a Washington Post video. “And you need to get out and vote in November.”
If one wants to vote in November, make sure to be registered. The last day to register in Ohio is Tuesday, Oct. 11 (today).
