Watch live here: The Trump-Harris 2024 presidential debate is tonight

U.S. Vice-President Kamala Harris and former president Donald Trump will meet face-to-face tonight in the ABC presidential debate that comes less than two months before election day on November 5.
Watch the debate in our video player on this page and follow along in our live blog, where our experts will be sharing their insights and analysis as the debate happens.
The debate will be taking place between 9:00 p.m. and 10:40 p.m. EDT in Philadelphia at the National Constitution Center and will be moderated by ABC News anchors David Muir and Linsey Davis.

You can watch the debate live, right here, on CTVNews.ca, the CTV News app and on CTV News Channel.
Trump won a coin flip last week, allowing him to choose which podium to use and whether he wants to give his closing argument before or after Harris. He chose to stand at the podium to the right of the screen, and to give his closing statement after Harris.
Each candidate will be given two minutes for each answer, two minutes for rebuttals and one minute for follow-ups.
ABC News is expected to mute the microphones of each candidate when their opponent is speaking, just as they were muted during the CNN debate between Trump and Biden in June. Trump and Harris will not be allowed to ask each other questions.
The candidates will not be allowed to bring any notes or props with them on stage and they will not be allowed to meet with campaign staff during the two commercial breaks.
There will be no live audience.
