Kamala Harris and Donald Trump have taken the stage in Philadelphia, where theyâll fight to sway 2024 election voters on the biggest stage in U.S. politics.
The event, which began at 9 p.m. EDT Tuesday, offers Americans their most detailed look at a campaign thatâs dramatically changed since the last debate in June. In rapid fashion, President Joe Biden bowed out of the race after his disastrous performance, Trump survived an assassination attempt and bothsides chose their running mates.
Harris and Trump are getting ready for Tuesday's debate in sharply different ways
Itâs the only debate thatâs been firmly scheduled and could be the only time voters see Harris and Trump go head-to-head before the November general election.
The debate has no audience, no written notes, and no live mics when candidates arenât speaking, according to rules the host network ABC News shared.
