(NewsNation) — Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are facing each other for the first time in a debate with fewer than 60 days left until the election in November.

Harris and Trump have traded jabs at events and in interviews, but this will be the first face-to-face contest between the two since Harris was nominated after President Joe Biden, the presumed Democratic nominee, bowed out of the race.

You can watch the ABC News Presidential Debate live on NewsNation and in the player above. NewsNation’s coverage begins at 7 p.m. ET with a special edition of “On Balance with Leland Vittert” live from Philadelphia. Chris Cuomo gets you ready for the debate at 8 p.m. before The ABC News Presidential Debate Simulcast begins at 9 p.m. When it’s over, Cuomo will break down what we saw and what will happen next.

This debate will follow the same rules as the debate between Trump and Biden earlier this year, after which Biden stepped away from seeking reelection. The candidates will not be allowed notes or props, will have their microphones muted between questions and there will be no live audience.
