On September 10, the first presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris will take place. The debate, which has been pushed away for weeks due to both candidates not reaching an agreement on a schedule, will finally be held at the National Constitutional Center in Philadelphia, with Americans getting the opportunity to see both candidates share their views and plans when voted into office.
The campaign office of the Harris-Walz campaign made the date known, with Tuesday, September 10, being the date when both candidates will debate for the first time, with subsequent debates between their vice presidential candidates later in October before they have one more debate in the days leading to the election.
Persons who want to witness the debate live will have to be at the National Constitutional Center in Philadelphia, which will be the venue for the debate, and according to a report by USA Today, the debate will start by 9 p.m. ET.
Those who can’t make it to the event will be able to watch from home as the debate will be broadcast on ABC and will also be streamed on ABC News Live, Disney+, and Hulu.
How many debates will be held?
The presidential debate on September 10 is one of the debates that are planned to be held and has been confirmed by representatives of both camps. Three debates have already been confirmed to be held, with two being for the presidential candidates and the other one for the vice presidential candidates.
The first vice presidential debate between Senator JD Vance and Senator Tim Walz will be held on October 1, three weeks after the first presidential debate, and will be moderated by CBS News.
The debate will not be without moderators, as the presidential debate will be moderated by the managing editor and anchor of ‘World News Tonight’ David Muir. He will also be joined by Linsey Davis, who serves as the prime anchor of News Live, ABC reported.
What debate has Trump agreed to?
Former President Donald Trump has agreed to be part of the October 10 debate. However, there have been reports that he proposed to have the debate on September 4 and September 25, dates that Vice President Kamala Harris didn’t agree to.
The debates proposed for September 4 and 25 by the Trump camp were rejected by the Kamala-Walz campaign as they would not be showing up. The October debate, which is scheduled to be the second and final presidential debate, also hangs in the balance as it is dependent on Donald Trump honoring the September 10 debate.
