The face-off comes after US President Joe Biden, on July 21, announced his withdrawal from the Presidential race and endorsed Vice President Harris.
Interestingly, the Trump-Harris debate that will be held in Pennsylvania will not have a live audience and also there won’t be live microphones, i.e. the candidates’ mic will be off when it is not their turn to speak.

Trump and Harris will only have a pen, a paper pad and a bottle of water.
Also, during the two commercial breaks, the candidates will not be allowed to communicate with their campaign staff.
As per ABC, once the debate is live, there won’t be any opening remarks, no contender will be given early access to topics or questions.
Also, the closing remarks of each candidate would be limited to two minutes.
During the debate, candidates will not be allowed to ask each other questions.
Both Harris and Trump will get only two minutes to answer questions, two minutes for rebuttals, and one minute for any further information.
On Tuesday, a virtual coin toss was done to establish the order of closing statements and podium placement. Trump won the coin toss and chose to determine the sequence of closing statements.
Also, Trump will be delivering the final closing statement.
Harris chose the right podium position on stage left.
