When is the debate between Trump and Harris and who is expected to come out on top?

The highly anticipated first presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris is scheduled for Thursday night. This event is expected to be a defining moment in their neck-and-neck race for the presidency. We saw how crucial these debates can be in the 2024 election when Trump's strong performance against Joe Biden led to Biden ultimately dropping out of the race under pressure from top Democrats.

All eyes will be on this debate, as both Harris and Trump have been closely tied in the polls leading up to the November election. After much negotiation and discussion, both parties have agreed on the timing and location of the first debate, which will take place less than two months before Election Day.

So, when exactly is this debate between Harris and Trump? It will begin at 9pm ET on Tuesday, September 10, and will be hosted by ABC News. The location for this showdown will be at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, one of seven key swing states that will play a crucial role in determining the outcome of the election.

The debate will be moderated by David Muir, anchor for ABC's World News Tonight, and Linsey Davis, anchor for ABC News Live Prime. It is scheduled to last for 90 minutes and will also be available for streaming on ABC News Live, Disney+, and Hulu.

Now, onto the rules of the debate. They are similar to those that were in place for the Biden-Trump debate hosted by CNN. According to ABC News, microphones will only be live for the candidate who is speaking at the time and will be muted when it is the other candidate's turn. This rule was requested by Biden's campaign and was met with some resistance from Harris' campaign, but ultimately it was agreed upon.

Many are wondering who will come out on top in this highly anticipated debate. According to an ABC-affiliated survey, Harris is favored to win with odds at -300, while Trump's odds stand at +200. It's sure to be an intense and closely watched event, as both candidates fight to prove themselves as the best choice for the presidency.
