How to watch the Sept. 10 presidential debate

Who are the moderators of the Sept. 10 presidential debate?
"World News Tonight" anchor and managing editor David Muir and ABC News Live "Prime" anchor Linsey Davis will moderate, according to ABC.
The primetime pre-debate special, "Race for the White House," will be anchored by Martha Raddatz, Jonathan Karl, Mary Bruce and Rachel Scott, and will begin at 8 p.m. EDT, the network announced.
Will Robert F. Kennedy be at the ABC presidential debate?
Unlikely. According to ABC News' rules, candidates must receive at least 15% support in four separate national polls of registered or likely voters in order to participate in the debate. Third-party candidate Robert F. Kennedy has been polling roughly half that percentage.
Kennedy also failed to qualify for the first debate, hosted by CNN.
When is the vice-presidential debate between Tim Walz and JD Vance?
Walz and Vance have agreed to a debate on Oct. 1, to be moderated by CBS News.
Vance has also agreed to a CNN debate on Sept,. 18, but Walz has yet to confirm.
When is the second Harris-Trump debate?
The date of the second debate has not yet been decided. Trump's campaign has suggested Sept. 4 and Sept. 25, with details to be worked out with the Harris campaign.
Did Harris back out of the FOX debate with Trump?
There never was one.
While Harris has consistently stuck to the previously agreed upon Sept. 10 date, Trump has resisted it.
On July 25, Trump's campaign communications director Steven Cheung said it was premature to schedule a debate with Harris until it was clear she would be the Democratic Party's nominee.
On Aug. 2 Trump posted on his Truth Social site that he had agreed to debate her in Pennsylvania on Sept. 4, hosted by FOX News with "a full arena audience." The ABC debate was canceled, he said, because it had been scheduled with Biden before he dropped out of the race and because Trump was suing ABC and one of its hosts, George Stephanopoulos.
Harris' campaign declined in a statement, saying Trump was "running scared" and she would stick to the plan and be in Philadelphia on Sept. 10 to speak to a prime-time audience whether the former president was there or not.
In a follow-up post, Trump said "I’ll see her on September 4th or, I won’t see her at all."
For weeks, both candidates accused each other of cowardice before finally settling on a date: Sept. 10 on ABC, as originally planned.
