The first and possibly only presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump is set for Tuesday 9 pm Eastern Time in Philadelphia, which will be 6:30 am India Time on Wednesday.
The debate presents a high-pressure opportunity for both candidates to showcase their starkly different visions for the country.
Recent polls suggest they are currently neck-and-neck in the race to the White House.
Americans will be watching the debate closely, not only for the mannerisms and confidence displayed by both candidates but also for their views on highly emotive issues such as abortion rights, immigration, the conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine, as well as the economy.
