This will be Hilary Clinton and Donald Trump's last debate before the US Presidential Elections on November 8. After this debate, both Presidential hopefuls will go on with their own paths as they sprint to the last 3 weeks before the election.
Here are some notable insights for the Clinton-Trump debate finale:
The time and place of the debate?
According to New York Magazine, the debate will last at one and a half hour with no commercial break. It will start at 9 p.m. EST with no commercial breaks. The Clinton-Trump duel will be held at University of Nevada in Las Vegas.
Where will the debate be broadcast?
Since this is the last US Presidential debate, we already expect that it will be aired live from a lot of TV networks. But here are some of the TV networks that will broadcast the debate: FOX, NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, C-SPAN, Univision, Fox News and Fox Business, per QUARTZ.
It can also be watched on numerous Youtube channels like Washington Post, Telemundo and PBS.
Live streams on Facebook will also be available like the Facebook pages of BuzzFeed and New York Times.
Is there a format for the debate?
Yup. There is a format for the debate, which is based on a format written by Commission on Presidential Debate.
According to the format, the rule of this third debate installment is just like the first one.
The debate will be divided into six segments with approximately 15 minutes allotted time for each segment.
The moderator (for this debate, the chosen moderator is Chris Wallace) will open each segment by asking a question. After the question, each Presidential candidate will be given 2 minutes to answer.
The rival hopefuls will then be given the opportunity to respond to each other. The moderator will manage the time (and the two candidates if they get into a heated discussion) for a much extensive discussion of the segment.
In history, both candidates are usually seated during Third Presidential Debates. But this time, Clinton and Trump decided to stand at podiums. This is allowed as it is not written in the rule that both candidates should be seated during the debate.
Are the topics for the debates announced already?
Yes. The topics to be covered for the six segments have already been announced. According to Commission on Presidential Debates, Chris Wallace (the moderator for this debate) has chosen these six topics for the debate: debt and entitlements, immigration, economy, Supreme Court, foreign hot spots, and fitness to be president.
Finals thoughts
Since this is the last debate for US Presidential race, expect Clinton and Trump to give their all out there. This is their last chance to capture the hearts (and votes) of the Americans.
This debate is expected to draw a lot of audience. In US history, the most watched Third Presidential Debate came in 1992 at 66.9 million viewers. If this debate will be the most-watched Third Presidential Debate, they need to exceed 66.9 million viewers, per TV Newser.
So this is it friends. The final showdown between Hilary Clinton and Donald Trump. Who will claim victory in this debate?
