More than four months ahead of the Nov. 5 vote, the CNN debate will be the earliest presidential debate in modern U.S. history. Television news channel ABC said it will host the second presidential debate on Sept. 10, also from an audience-free studio. Campaign staff will be on hand to talk to reporters afterward in the "spin room." 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.
