The debate between Trump and Harris has begun in Philadelphia
The debate has no audience, no written notes, and no live mics
Philadelphia, Sept 11 - Kamala Harris and Donald Trump have taken the stage in Philadelphia, where they’ll 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 that’s 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 both sides chose their running mates.
It’s the only debate that’s 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 aren’t speaking, according to rules the host network ABC News shared.
