Muted mics, no opening statements and more: Here's a full list of rules for Tuesday night's presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.
The acceptance of the rules marks the end of a saga that threatened to derail the debate entirely. And while its the second debate of the general election, its the first between the two candidates -- and the first time Harris and Trump will meet in person.Here's a look at what to expect:
According to ABC News, the candidates will stand behind lecterns, will not make opening statements and will not be allowed to bring notes during the 90-minute debate. David Muir and Linsey Davis will moderate the event. 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.- The two seated moderators, David Muir and Linsey Davis, will be the only people asking questions.
