Harris-Trump ABC News presidential debate time, how to watch it live
ABC News Digital and 538 will live blog the debate online.
Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris will soon face off in their first debate of the 2024 election Tuesday night, moderated by ABC News.
With only weeks until Election Day, the debate is a crucial opportunity for both candidates to work to sway undecided voters in what's expected to be a close contest in November.
The debate is a chance for Harris -- who became the Democratic candidate after President Joe Biden left the race following his lackluster June debate performance -- and Trump to explain their policies on key issues. It’s the first time the pair will meet in person.
Here's what to know about the debate and how to tune in.
