Debate rules for Harris vs. Trump come into force on September 10
The biggest sticking point in the negotiations was whether the microphones should be muted during parts of the debate.
Presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump will face off in the presidential debate at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia on September 10.
The debate, which takes place exactly eight weeks before the general election, could be the first and only time Harris and Trump face off. The candidates have not yet announced a second debate, although Harris’ team has agreed to participate in another debate before the November election.
The first presidential debate between Trump and Joe Biden took place on June 27 in Atlanta, before Biden dropped out of the race.
Here’s what West Coast residents need to know about the upcoming debate, including when it’s happening and how to watch it.

Will there be another presidential debate?
Kamala Harris’ team has agreed to a second presidential debate before the November election, but it’s still unclear when or if it will happen at all. According to USA TODAY, the Harris-Walz campaign team said earlier this month, “The debate about debates is over. Donald Trump’s campaign has accepted our proposal for three debates – two presidential debates and one vice presidential debate.”
“Assuming Donald Trump does indeed show up to debate Vice President Harris on September 10, Governor Walz will meet with JD Vance on October 1 and the American people will have another opportunity to see the Vice President and Donald Trump on the debate stage in October,” the campaign said.
Will there be a vice presidential debate?
Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance and Democratic Vice President Tim Walz have both agreed to a debate hosted by CBS News on October 1.
