Today's Tuesday, September 10.
Here's what we're covering tonight in Philadelphia, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump will take the stage for what could be the most consequential 90 minutes of the presidential race.
It's the only debate the two campaigns have agreed to so far, and it comes as the candidates are nearly tied in the polls.
The debate will be moderated by David Muir and Lindsay Davis of ABC News.
There will be no live audience, and the candidates mics will be muted when it's not their turn to speak.
My colleagues and I have been reporting on how Donald Trump and Kamala Harris have been preparing for tonight's debate, and their preparations could not have been more different times.
Political reporter Jonathan Swan has been covering the 2024 campaign.
Kamala Harris has been holed up in a hotel with her team doing highly choreographed debate sessions.
These have included replica television, lighting a stage and even an advisor in sort of method acting mode, playing Donald Trump wearing a boxy suit and the long red tie.
On the Trump side, it's much looser, and basically it consists of them sitting around at his private clubs in Bedminster or Mar a Lago.
His aides are at a long table, his aides and advisors.
He sits in a chair facing them, and they bat questions back and forth.
