ABC News has confirmed that the upcoming presidential debate will be held at the prestigious National Constitution Center in Philadelphia. Scheduled for September 10, the highly-anticipated debate will feature David Muir, anchor and managing editor of "World News Tonight," alongside Linsey Davis, anchor of ABC News Live's "Prime," as moderators.
In addition to the debate itself, ABC News has planned a pre-debate special titled "Race for the White House," set to air at 8 p.m. ET. The special will be hosted by a panel of esteemed journalists, including chief global affairs correspondent Martha Raddatz, chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Karl, chief White House correspondent Mary Bruce, and senior congressional correspondent Rachel Scott.
The National Constitution Center, located close to Philadelphia's historic Independence Hall, serves as a hub for exhibits and events focusing on the U.S. Constitution and promoting civic engagement. Its significance as the site where both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were signed adds an extra layer of historical significance to the upcoming debate.
This is not the first time that ABC News has chosen the National Constitution Center as the venue for a high-profile political event. In 2020, the network hosted town halls with then-candidate President Joe Biden and then-incumbent President Donald Trump at the same location.
With the selection of the National Constitution Center, ABC News continues its commitment to providing a platform for meaningful discourse and crucial discussions leading up to the 2024 presidential election. The choice of moderators and the planned pre-debate special indicate the network's dedication to delivering comprehensive coverage and insightful analysis to its viewers.
As the countdown to the debate begins, political observers and the American public eagerly await the opportunity to witness the candidates take the stage at the hallowed halls of the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia.
