With less than two weeks until Election Day, Biden is leading most national polls and has a narrower advantage in the battleground states that could decide the race. More than 47 million people have already cast their ballots. The debate, moderated by NBC's Kristen Welker, is a final chance for both men to make their case to a television audience of tens of millions of voters.

After Trump's COVID-19 diagnosis, the Commission on Presidential Debates ruled that the second debate, which was supposed to have been held last week, would be virtual. Trump balked, leading to the cancellation of the debate and the two men holding dueling town halls last Thursday night instead, speaking at the same time more than 1,000 miles apart.

On Thursday night, in an effort to curtail interruptions, Trump and Biden each had his microphone cut off while his rival delivered an opening two-minute answer to each of the six debate topics, the commission announced. The mute button won’t figure in the open discussion portion of the debate, but has drawn criticism from Trump.
