Chris Wallace of Fox News is moderating Tuesday's debate.
Wallace selected the following topics for the first debate: "The Trump and Biden Records," "The Supreme Court," "Covid-19," "The Economy," "Race and Violence in our Cities," and "The Integrity of the Election," according to the Commission on Presidential Debates.
The candidates will not have opening statements, and Trump will receive the first question from the moderator. Each segment will last about 15 minutes, and the candidates will have two minutes to respond after the moderator opens each segment with a question. Wallace will then use the rest of the time in the segment to facilitate further discussion on the topic, according to the commission.
The debate is taking place at Case Western Reserve University and Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland.
Yes, but the size of the audience will be limited compared to previous debates. Frank Fahrenkopf, co-chairman of the Commission on Presidential Debates, has estimated that 60 to 70 audience members would be seated in the debate hall Tuesday night. Everyone attending will undergo testing for Covid-19 and follow other health safety protocols
The Commission on Presidential Debates is a nonpartisan nonprofit organization and has sponsored all general election presidential and vice presidential debates since 1987. The CPD does not receive funding from the government or any political party or campaign, according to the organization.
