How and where can you watch the presidential debate?

Vice President Harris and former President Trump will face off Tuesday night in their first and possibly only presidential debate as they seek to win voters’ favor ahead of November.

This came after a back and forth between the two campaigns, who argued over the rules on stage before finally agreeing on the parameters of the debate.

When and at what time will the debate take place?

The debate begins at 9 p.m. EDT at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, the largest city in a key swing state, and is hosted and moderated by ABC News.

Who moderates the debate?

The event will be hosted by Linsey Davis, host of ABC News Live Prime, and David Muir, host of World News Tonight.

The Hill’s coverage of the debate, streaming:

The Hill will host a simulcast of the presidential debate on its website, its YouTube channel, and The Hill’s FAST channel, which can be found on streaming channels including Roku, Vizion, Amazon Fire TV, Freevee, and others.

Where else can you watch?

ABC News said the debate will be broadcast live on its network. It will also air on the streaming platform ABC News Live, Disney+ and Hulu.

Other broadcast networks and channels will simultaneously broadcast the debate, including Fox News, NBC News, CBS News, CNN and NewsNation.

What are the debate rules?

The most contentious point was whether a candidate’s microphone would be muted while his opponent was speaking. During Trump’s debate with President Biden in June, microphones were muted following a dispute in 2020 in which former President Biden and moderator Chris Wallace repeatedly interrupted.

Harris’ campaign pushed for the microphones to remain on for the duration of the debate in case Trump tried to persuade her. In the end, both campaigns agreed to mute the microphones.

Each candidate has two minutes to answer a question and two minutes to respond to the other candidate, plus an additional minute for “follow-up questions, clarifications or answers,” the rules state.

After the moderators have introduced the candidates, the debate will begin with questions; there will be no opening speech. The candidates will have the opportunity to make a two-minute closing speech at the end.

The two candidates are given a pen, a pad and a bottle of water. They are not allowed to have any pre-written notes or keywords and are not given any topics or specific questions in advance. Campaign staff are also not allowed to interact with them at any time.

Trump won a virtual coin toss and chose to deliver his closing argument last, allowing Harris to choose her preferred podium on the right side of the television screen.

The event will take place without an audience, a departure from many debates in previous election years.
