The final presidential debate of Trump vs Biden is here, and it's probably gonna be as chaotic as the first. This was supposed to be the last of three debates, but the second debate was canceled after President Donald Trump was diagnosed with COVID-19 and his campaign refused to hold it virtually.
The two candidates, Trump and former vice president Joe R. Biden, are set to take the debate stage at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee. The final presidential debate will run for 90 minutes with no commercial breaks, and it will be moderated by Kristen Welker, an NBC News White House correspondent and co-anchor of Weekend Today.

The debate will be divided into six 15-minute segments on topics chosen by the moderator: fighting covid-19, American families, race in America, climate change, national security and leadership.
Trump's campaign has complained that this debate was supposed to focus on foreign policy, but the head of the Commission on Presidential Debates has denied that.
The first debate featured near-constant interruptions where Trump talked over both Biden and moderator Chris Wallace. This time, the commission has instituted a new rule to mute the microphone of the other candidate during their two-minute opening statements at the start of each segment. Afterward, both mics will be on for open discussion.
