The debate will be held in Philadelphia at the National Constitution Center and will have no audience in the room.

MORE: Presidential debate to be held at National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, ABC News announces
Microphones will be live only for the candidate whose turn it is to speak and muted when the time belongs to another candidate. Only the moderators will be permitted to ask questions.

A coin flip was held virtually on Tuesday to determine the podium placement and the order of closing statements; former President Trump won the coin toss and chose to select the order of statements. The former president will offer the last closing statement, and Vice President Harris selected the right podium position on screen, i.e., stage left.

There will be no opening statements, and closing statements will be two minutes per candidate.

Each candidate will be allotted two minutes to answer each question with a two-minute rebuttal, and an additional minute for a follow-up, clarification, or response.

Candidates will stand behind podiums for the duration of the debate and no props or pre-written notes will be allowed on stage. Each candidate will be given a pen, a pad of paper, and a bottle of water.

Campaign staff may not interact with candidates during commercial breaks.

The debate will be produced in conjunction with ABC station WPVI and will air live at 9 p.m. ET on the network and on the ABC News Live 24/7 streaming network, Disney+ and Hulu.

ABC News will also air a pre-debate special, "Race for the White House," at 8 p.m. ET, anchored by chief global affairs correspondent and "This Week" co-anchor Martha Raddatz, chief Washington correspondent and "This Week" co-anchor Jonathan Karl, chief White House correspondent Mary Bruce and senior congressional correspondent Rachel Scott.

As previously announced by ABC News, to formally qualify for the debate, the participants had to meet various qualification requirements, including polling thresholds and appearing on enough state ballots to theoretically be able to get a majority of electoral votes in the presidential election.

Thats all folks........

Wish they had opening statements. Chance to begin by pointing out her history of bad policy and now her flip-flops. He will do it during his closing statement, but that won't impact the actual debate. Put her on the defensive

They should also be allowed to ask at least a couple of questions

And for the love of God, don't talk about height. That's the idiocy he allows to derail him.

The moment everyone has been waiting for has almost arrived, with Donald Trump and Kamala Harris set to debate each other tonight. While it's commonplace for political candidates to make specific demands before participating in a debate, Kamala's list of demands has not been revealed — until now.

The Babylon Bee has exclusively obtained the following list of demands made by the Harris campaign prior to tomorrow's debate:


  1. Only questions about what kind of spices she uses when cooking: This is the type of thing Americans want to hear.
  2. Moderators must respond to all of Kamala's answers with "you KNOW das right" or "guuuuuurl, say it!":Conversely, all of Trump's answers must be met with boos and hisses.
  3. The debate is to be held 3 hours before air time and edited down to her best 7 minutes: It's standard practice with all Kamala Harris public appearances.
  4. She will be awarded extra points for each accent she uses: Being multi-lingual should have its advantages.
  5. Trump will be docked speaking time for being white and male: Plus, he's wealthy, so he's lucky to even be allowed to speak at all.
  6. Jamaal Bowman must be stationed by the fire alarm: Just in case things aren't going Kamala's way.
  7. She must be given the opportunity to sleep with the moderator the night before: Kamala always has to have her secret weapon up her sleeve.
While Kamala drives a hard bargain, it's plain to see that the viewing public is in for quite a treat tomorrow night — especially once everything Trump says is edited out.
