Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are set to debate on Tuesday night at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia.
The 90-minute debate, starting at 9 p.m. ET, will be moderated by ABC News anchors David Muir and Linsey Davis and broadcast live on multiple platforms, including ABC News Live, Disney+, and Hulu.
Harris has been preparing intensively for the debate, employing a team led by Philippe Reines, who previously helped Hillary Clinton prepare for debates. Trump, in contrast, is participating in “policy sessions” with his team, choosing a less conventional approach to preparation.
Key topics expected during the debate include Harris focusing on reproductive rights and her campaign’s broader platform, while Trump is likely to criticize the Biden administration’s handling of the economy and immigration.
The debate occurs just eight weeks before the November election, making it a crucial event for both candidates to appeal to undecided voters.
The debate will feature muted microphones to minimize interruptions, a rule aimed at fostering a more orderly exchange between the two candidates.
You can follow live updates and analysis during the debate from NPR and other news outlets.
