    The day of debate has arrived.

    The first debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris will take place Tuesday night at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, with the election less than two months away.

    Trump announced in a post on Truth Social that he has accepted the September 10 debate on ABC, under the same conditions as the June debate on CNN against Biden.

    The rules for Tuesday night’s debate mean that each candidate’s microphone will only be on when it’s their turn to speak, there will be no studio audience, and candidates will not be allowed to talk to their staff during breaks or take notes. Each candidate will be given only a pen, a notepad and a bottle of water.

    Here’s what you need to know about the debate, including what time it starts and how to watch it.

    What time is the debate tonight?

    The debate starts at 9:00 p.m. (Eastern Time).
