What time is the debate? What to know before Trump and Biden take the stage

(NEXSTAR) - The first debate of the presidential race between President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden will happen on Tuesday.

The debate starts at 9 p.m. Eastern time, 6 p.m. Pacific time.

The debate on Tuesday at Case Western University in Cleveland will be the first of three between the Democratic Party's nominee and the Republican incumbent.

The 90-minute debate will be broken up into six 15-minute segments. A week before the event, the Commission on Presidential Debates announced the following expected topics:

  • The Trump and Biden records
  • The Supreme Court
  • Coronavirus
  • The Economy
  • Race and violence in U.S. cities
  • The integrity of the election

The topics have been selected by the moderator, "Fox News Sunday's" Chris Wallace. The supervising commission said the topics were selected by Wallace and are subject to change based on the news cycle. Since the topics were announced, President Trump has nominated a new Supreme Court justice and faced an avalanche of question about his personal finances following a New York Times article indicating that he has paid little in taxes over most of the last two decades.
