Some voters might not have decided given the Democrats' late ticket-switch.

The stage for the final presidential debate of the US 2020 presidential elections is being tested for light and sound at Belmont University in Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 21,2020.In the past, they've rarely influenced an election's outcome, according to historians who spoke with ABC News.

Experts who have analyzed previous debates said this one will be pivotal for many voters since it follows Harris' entering the race as well the naming of the campaigns' two running mates, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, and Ohio Sen. JD Vance. Kathleen Hall Jamieson, director of the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania, who has researched presidential debates, told ABC News that the majority of debate watchers usually are highly informed viewers who have already decided which candidate to back.

Although Harris immediately hit the ground running since Biden bowed out in mid-July and then got the news media spotlight at the Democratic National Convention, she will have the opportunity to draw contrasts with Trump -- and in some instances Biden -- during her matchup, according to Kall.The debate will mark the first time that Trump and Harris will be seen face-to-face and viewers will be able to see how both react to the jabs likely to fly during the 90-minute showdown.

Jamieson said the campaigns will likely be laser-focused on making sure their candidate secures victory as there is no immediate indication that they will have another televised matchup before
