The initial presidential debate for the 2024 election, featuring ex-President Donald Trump and current Vice President Kamala Harris, is scheduled to take place in Philadelphia, a crucial swing state of Pennsylvania.
Set for Tuesday, September 10, 2024, the debate will occur at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, announced by Gio Benetiz, co-anchor of “Good Morning America” on ABC News, through a social media post on Friday morning.
This marks the first debate between the Democratic and Republican nominees for president following Harris’s assumption of the Democratic nomination from President Joe Biden. This event comes in the wake of Biden’s debate performance against Trump, which received widespread criticism, leading to doubts about the 81-year-old’s capacity to serve another term.
Philadelphia, being Pennsylvania’s largest city, holds significant importance for both parties as they vie for the state’s 19 electoral votes in the crucial battleground.
