Trump Harris debate moderators: On Tuesday, former President Donald Trump and Democratic candidate for president Kamala Harris will have their second debate. The race looks like it will be close.
As of last month, ABC News said that the first debate would take place at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, but there would be no live audience. There were also no studio audiences for the debate in June. David Muir and Linsey Davis, who are moderators, will introduce the candidates, but they will not say anything at the start.

Both campaigns came to an agreement on the rules of the debate after a lot of back-and-forth, and the debate was officially announced on August 16.
David Muir: who is he?
David Muir, who is the managing editor and host of “ABC World News Tonight with David Muir,” will lead the discussion. His show airs every day on ABC News at 6:30 p.m. ET. Since 2003, Muir has worked for ABC News. In 2014, she took over from Diane Sawyer.
A lot of people have given Muir awards, including the Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence in Journalism and Emmys, for his great interviewing skills and ability to handle tough political conversations.
He will be joined by Linsey Davis, who is the host of ABC News Live’s “Prime.” Davis is known for how well she can do political interviews and write about issues of social justice. Harris has been in charge of other Democratic primary debates, so she will be familiar with her style.
