It will be produced in conjunction with ABC station WPVI-TV/6abc and will air live at 9 p.m. ET on the network and on the ABC News Live 24/7 streaming network, Disney+ and Hulu.
ABC News will also air a debate special, “Race for the White House,” at 8 p.m. ET, anchored by chief global affairs correspondent and “This Week” co-anchor Martha Raddatz, chief Washington correspondent and “This Week” co. -anchor Jonathan Karl, White House chief correspondent Mary Bruce and senior congressional correspondent Rachel Scott.
As previously reported by ABC News, to formally qualify, presidential candidates will need to meet various eligibility requirements, including electoral thresholds and appearing on enough state ballots to theoretically receive a majority (270) of electoral votes in the presidential election.
