What you need to know:
**Tonight’s Showdown**: Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris will face off in Philadelphia tonight for their first presidential debate. With recent polls showing a close race for the White House, there is no clear frontrunner at this stage.
**Ahead of the Debate**: The Trump campaign has previewed some of the attacks Trump may use, focusing on Harris and stating that she "owns everything from this administration." Meanwhile, Harris’ campaign has transformed former President Barack Obama’s mockery of Trump’s crowd-size obsession from the Democratic convention into a television ad.
**On the Issues**: You can explore both candidates’ stances and proposals on key issues here.
**Debate Rules**: There will be no audience present. Candidates' microphones will be muted when it’s not their turn to speak, and they will not be permitted to use notes.
**Coverage**: CNN's special coverage begins at 4 p.m. ET, followed by ABC’s live debate at 9 p.m. ET. You can watch the debate in the video at the top of this page.
