Vice President Mike Pence and U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) are set to debate on Wednesday, October 7
After the first Presidential debate between President Donald Trump and candidate Joe Biden, it's now time for Vice President's candidates to take the stand.
Two prominent candidates on the position are the current Vice President Mike Pence of the Republican party, versus Senator Kamala Harris of the Democrat party.
The debate is happening at the University of Utah at exactly 9:00 p.m. E.T. / 6:00 p.m. P.T. on Tuesday, Oct. 7. It is expected to be within duration of 90 minutes, with nine 10-minute segments, and no commercial breaks in between.
The students from the University of Utah will be the audiences of the program. However, there is still no given number of how many students will be guests.
Compared to the first Trump vs. Biden debate, the USA Today's Washington Bureau Chief Susan Page will be the debate's moderator. She will be the one choosing the topics that both parties will argue about.
Unfortunately, until now, the chosen topics are still unannounced. But it could involve the same questions with the Presidential debate.
A COVID-19-friendly debate

Another thing that's different from this debate is that the stage will have more serious social distancing guidelines.
