More than four months ahead of the November 5 vote, the CNN debate will be the earliest presidential debate in modern US history. Television news channel ABC said it will host the second presidential debate on September 10, also from an audience-free studio. In Thursday's 90-minute debate, candidates will appear at a uniform podium, be given a pen, paper, and bottle of water, and cannot use props or notes, CNN said. Then-President Trump and Biden debated twice during the 2020 race, with their first exchange devolving into a chaotic shouting match. Vice President Kamala Harris accepted a CBS News invitation for a vice presidential debate on either July 23 or August 13, according to a campaign spokesperson.
