Some are predicting that as many as 100 million viewers could tune in tonight, Monday September 26, for the first presidential debate between Clinton and Trump. That’s almost a third of the country, to be exact. The only thing viewed by this many is the Super Bowl.
The debate will take place at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York. The school has hosted the last three debates since 2008, which is record breaking for consecutive presidential debate hosting. The debate will last for 90 minutes, without commercials.
Both campaigns have been bustling hard working the refs in an effort to set the bar against their candidate, the judging will be interesting too. They’ve also sharply disagreed over the role the moderator, NBC News’ Lester Holt, should play.
All preparations and expectations will fade into the background tonight as the two candidates battle for what might be one of the most anticipated presidential debates ever.
