Location: Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. (This was originally scheduled to be held at the University of Notre Dame. Notre Dame withdrew, saying the fact they’d have to limit student attendance and volunteer opportunities because of the pandemic erases the reason to host a debate at their university.)
Time: 9-10:30 p.m. Eastern time
Where to watch: The Washington Post will have an uninterrupted live stream of the debate. It will also be carried on most major news stations.
Moderator: To be announced
Details: The debate will be 90 minutes long and have no commercial breaks. It will be divided into six, 15-minute segments that the moderator gets to choose and is expected to announce at least a week before the debate.

So looking forward to these!
Still feel like there's more of a chance of Biden pulling out than the debates actually happening. Or at the very least it will be debate via video conference

If Biden comes across as steady and competent and doesnt get flustered, I think this will be the only debate.
60% chance of Biden being generally normal...?
Guarantee Trump will be Trump. Not normal.....or, rather, normal....
That poll doesn't surprise me. I got a sick feeling that Biden was done within the first 15 minutes or so. When his smooth jazz radio host voice started to stumble on words, I thought that would be perceived as weak and Trump would pounce on that.
Trump not denouncing white supremacists and his call out to the Proud Boys was shocking.

Who's going to watch this tonight?
I'm still on the fence whether I will bother. I watched the last real one and got bored after about 5 minutes....too much yelling and stupid questions.
And I didn't bother to watch the stump speech "debate" a week or two ago.
I think that Trump will mention the 50 Cent is now 20 Cent with Biden tax plan jab. That's my one prediction.
In TV Ratings, Trump vs. Biden Was No Match for Trump vs. Clinton
The rise of streaming and familiar characters may have cut into the record viewership of four years ago. Fox News led all networks in audience size, Nielsen said.
Television viewership of the debate on Tuesday was down about 13 percent from the first presidential debate in the 2016 race, Nielsen reported.

More than 73 million people watched the chaotic presidential debate on Tuesday night, about a 13 percent decline from the first presidential debate of the campaign four years ago, according to Nielsen.
A record 84 million people watched the first debate between Donald J. Trump and Hillary Clinton in 2016. Tuesday’s debate between President Trump and Joseph R. Biden Jr. was the third most watched, trailing the 80.6 million who watched President Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan in 1980.
The Nielsen numbers, released on Wednesday, do not include everyone who streamed the event or watched it online, a habit that is more widespread now than it was in 2016.
Presidential debates, like the one that at least 16 networks aired on Tuesday, are typically among the most-watched telecasts of the year. The Super Bowl, which had about 100 million viewers this year, is one of the few events with wider reach. Election night coverage in 2016 had a television audience of 71 million.
DT was more reserved than usual. I'm glad because the debate was at least civil.
In the early part of the debate there was too much talk about Joe Biden's family and his son getting money - we've heard it all before. *yawn*
Overall, I didn't hear anything new, same old.
