It’s the second presidential debate of the election season, but the first between Vice President Harris and former President Donald Trump — and their first time ever meeting in person.
With the candidates virtually tied in the polls, and just 55 days until Election Day, Trump and Harris are meeting on stage in Philadelphia for their first — and possibly only — debate.
— Catch up on NPR’s fact-checking of what the nominees said about the Capitol riot, immigration, noncitizens voting and the Central Park Five.
— The stakes for both candidates were high, as NPR’s latest poll shows.
— Trump has a history of getting “nasty” with his female opponents. Here’s how Harris’ past debates have prepared her.
Live coverage of tonight’s debate is an NPR Network collaboration between NPR, WHYY and KQED, with help from Member stations across the country. Find your local Member station here and get our full election coverage in the new Election tab in the NPR App.
