When is the first presidential debate between Trump and Harris?

The next presidential debate – the first featuring Vice President Kamala Harris – is scheduled to take place next week in Philadelphia.
The Sept. 10 debate at the National Constitution Center will be former president Donald Trump’s second of the campaign but the first against Harris, who officially accepted the Democratic party’s nomination last month at their convention in Chicago.
Though this is the only debate for the presidential candidates currently on the schedule, their running mates – Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Sen. JD Vance – are set to square off on Oct. 1.
While the rules of the debate are still being finalized, there is one sticking point for Trump. He reported won’t agree to microphones being live for both candidates during the entire debate.
Harris is in favor of it took to social media on Saturday to reiterate that.
“Donald Trump is surrendering to his advisors who won’t allow him to debate with a live microphone. If his own team doesn’t have confidence in him, the American people definitely can’t,” she posted. “We are running for President of the United States. Let’s debate in a transparent way—with the microphones on the whole time.”
The first debate of the 2020 campaign between President Joe Biden and Trump featured so-called “hot mics” but the Commission on Presidential Debates instituted the muted-mic tactic for the second debate in that cycle. The commission did not organize next week’s debate.
Trump is no stranger to hot mic incidents. A hot mic recording of lewd comments he had made during an Access Hollywood interview years prior came to light during the 2016 campaign season.
