Watch the Trump-Clinton Presidential Debate LIVE HERE

 

shutterstock_456778678After a campaign season that has seemed like it has gone on for years and years, we are finally just hours away from the very first Presidential debate. On the stage tonight will be the two candidates representing the major parties — Hillary Clinton of the Democrats and the GOP’s Donald Trump — going head-to-head live from Hofstra University in Long Island.

The Commission on Presidential Debates recently announced the moderators for the events, a difficult task considering the challenge of finding seasoned vets who are unoffensive enough to be seen as objective and fair.

All debates are from 9-10:30 PM Eastern and will be airing on all major networks (NBC, CBS, ABC, PBS, CNN, Fox News, Fox Business, CNBC, MSNBC, Univision, and C-SPAN) simultaneously. Mediaite will have livestreams available online to watch below.

TODAY, SEPTEMBER 26 (PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE 1)
The first debate tonight will be moderated by Lester Holt from NBC, and the current host of NBC Nightly News. Despite previously crediting Holt as a fair choice, Trump this week slammed the broadcast anchor, saying, “Lester is a Democrat… Okay? It’s a very unfair system.” Holt, however, is a registered Republican, and has been since 2003.

The debate will take place on the campus of Hofstra University in Hempstead, Long Island; the event — which will mark not only the first Clinton v. Trump showdown but also the first debate featuring Trump and only one other person — will consist of six 15-minute segments. The segments will be preselected by Holt; third party candidates Gary Johnson, Jill Stein, and independent Evan McMullin did not qualify to debate.
