The Highly-Anticipated Harris vs. Trump Debate: What You Need to Know
As the November general election approaches, the upcoming debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump is set to be a pivotal moment for both candidates. This showdown will be the first major test for both contenders with voters who are now paying closer attention to the election following Labor Day.
Typically, the last two months leading up to an election are crucial, as undecided voters make their decisions and early voting begins in many states. This debate holds even more significance as one of its participants was not at the previous debate.
Harris stepped in as the Democratic replacement for President Joe Biden after he withdrew from the race and endorsed her. This decision came after a disastrous June debate raised doubts about Biden’s candidacy and fitness for office.
When and Where:
The debate is scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 10 at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, starting at 9 p.m. Eastern time.
How to Watch:
The debate will be broadcast live on ABC and other network and cable channels. It will also be available for live streaming on the ABC News app, Disney+, and Hulu.
Moderators:
ABC’s David Muir and Lindsey Davis will moderate the debate. It is yet to be seen how actively they will question the candidates, as the role of moderators came into question after the Biden-Trump debate.
Potential Future Debates:
While there is uncertainty around additional debates between Trump and Harris, with the former president proposing two more debates, it is likely that both camps are waiting to gauge the outcome of the Sept. 10 debate before committing to more face-offs.
