How to watch the Harris-Trump presidential debate on TV and online
Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris are set to meet Tuesday, Sept. 10, in Philadelphia, for what might be their only debate before the November election.
It will be Harris’ first debate as a presidential nominee.
Former President Trump — a veteran of the debate stage after winning the Republican nomination in 2016, 2020 and 2024 — debated current President Joe Biden 75 days ago. In that content, Biden’s halting performance led to calls for him to step down as the party’s nominee, which he eventually did, leading the party to nominate Vice President Harris as its presidential candidate.
The Harris-Trump debate is being produced by ABC News, and anchors David Muir and Linsey Davis will moderate at Philadelphia’s National Constitutional Center.
