Important things to keep in mind for the first meeting between Harris and Trump for the debate.

All eyes are on the upcoming US presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former president Donald Trump, as the world eagerly anticipates their first public face-off on Wednesday. This will be the first time the two candidates share a stage for a debate, and interestingly, it will also mark the first time they have formally met. According to reports from CNN, they have only been in the same room once before during Trump's State of the Union addresses to Congress in 2020.

This debate is the second of the US election cycle, with the first one being held between President Joe Biden and Trump in June. Biden's shaky performance in that debate led him to withdraw from the election race about a month later. Now, as we gear up for Harris and Trump's first debate, the stakes are high and all eyes are on the candidates.

So how will this debate work? The purpose of a presidential debate is to allow candidates to address key election issues in a public format, giving undecided voters a chance to evaluate and decide which candidate they want to support. Harris and Trump's debate will be moderated by two news anchors, who will guide the conversation with questions on important topics. Each candidate will be given a chance to respond, and they will also be allowed to rebut or make follow-up comments.

The debate will be televised and is expected to draw millions of viewers worldwide. As for the rules, they are similar to the ones set for the previous Biden vs Trump debate hosted by CNN. The debate will run for 90 minutes, with two commercial breaks, and no props or pre-written notes will be allowed. The candidates' microphones will be muted, except when they are asked to speak, and they will have a set time limit to answer each question, rebut, and make additional comments or clarifications. They will not be allowed to speak with their team during the debate, and there will be no live audience present.

The debate between Harris and Trump will take place at the National Constitutional Centre in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and will be hosted by the US ABC network. As for the polls and predictions, both candidates are currently neck and neck in national polls, with Trump leading by one percentage point in a recent poll by The New York Times and Siena College. In Pennsylvania, where the debate will be held, a CBS/YouGov poll shows the candidates tied at 50-50.

The debate is scheduled to begin at 9pm local time on Tuesday, September 10 in the US, which translates to 11am AEST on Wednesday in Australia. Viewers can watch it live or on-demand on Channel 9 and 9Now. The debate will be moderated by two anchors from US network ABC, ABC News Live Prime anchor Linsey Davis and World News Tonight anchor David Muir. Davis is an Emmy Award-winning journalist with extensive experience in interviewing politicians and influential figures, while Muir has moderated multiple presidential primary debates and conducted interviews with both Trump and Biden.

There will not be a live audience present at the debate, but some reporters will be allowed into the room, although they will not be asking questions.
