Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are set to debate during a televised event Tuesday.

Rubye Kendrick from the League of Women Voters of Tyler/Smith County said the debate could really affect how voters get engaged and make decisions.

“Debates give you an opportunity to hear from the candidates and get information…about their policies,” Kendrick said. “This is the opportunity that you hear both sides of the issue.”

The debate is scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 10, at 8 p.m. It will last for 90 minutes.

It’s being broadcast live by ABC News on its network and streaming platforms, including ABC News Live, Disney+ and Hulu. Other major networks, including Fox News, CNN, NBC, CBS and NewsNation, will also simulcast the debate.

Linsey Davis, anchor of “ABC News Live Prime,” and David Muir, anchor of “World News Tonight” will be the moderators. Candidate’s microphone will be muted while their opponent is speaking. Both campaigns have agreed to this format, according to ABC News.

Each candidate will have two minutes to answer questions, two minutes for rebuttals and one minute for follow-ups or clarifications. There will be no audience present, and each candidate will deliver a two-minute closing statement.

Harris last week accepted the rules set forth for next week’s debate with Trump, although the Democratic nominee says the decision not to keep both candidates’ microphones live throughout the matchup will be to her disadvantage. Harris’ campaign sent a letter Wednesday to host network ABC News accepting the parameters for the presidential debate.

The campaigns had feuded over the policy of muting microphones except for the candidate whose turn it is to speak. Harris’ team says the former prosecutor will be “fundamentally disadvantaged” by such a practice, which President Joe Biden’s team had pushed for in his June debate with Trump.

According to an official with Harris’ campaign, a pool of journalists will be on hand to hear what the muted candidate may be trying to say when his or her microphone is turned off. That detail was not in the full debate rules, also released Wednesday by ABC, which are essentially the same as they were for the June debate between Trump and Biden.

The network laid out parameters from the basic format — 90 minutes, with two commercial breaks — to specifications that moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis “will be the only people asking questions,” perhaps hoping to avert a free-for-all between the candidates.

“Moderators will seek to enforce timing agreements and ensure a civilized discussion,” the network noted.

The Harris campaign official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss planning around the debate, said a candidate who repeatedly interrupts will receive a warning from a moderator, and both candidates’ microphones may be unmuted if there is significant crosstalk so the audience can understand what’s happening.

After a virtual coin flip held Tuesday and won by Trump, the GOP nominee opted to offer the final closing statement, while Harris chose the podium on the right side of viewers’ screens. There will be no audience, written notes or any topics or questions shared with campaigns or candidates in advance, the network said.

In the town hall on Wednesday, Hannity steered Trump through many of the topics typical of the GOP nominee’s campaign events, with a heavy focus on immigration, and posed questions after showing video clips of Harris in media interviews and other appearances.

Trump also repeatedly returned his focus from Harris to Biden, calling Democrats’ substitution of their top candidate “a coup” and saying he would have preferred a debate with Harris, rather than the town hall.

Asked about next week’s debate, Trump repeated his former criticism of ABC as a “dishonest” and “unfair” network, also reiterating his previous claims that Harris’ campaign is “going to get the questions in advance.”

The location of Trump’s town hall, coupled with next week’s debate in Philadelphia, highlights the importance of battleground Pennsylvania, where 19 Electoral College votes are up for grabs in the November election.
