The debate is set to take place Tonight at the University of Utah and will be the first and only meeting between the two candidates. Susan Page, Washington bureau chief for USA Today, will moderate. Vice President Mike Pence faces a challenging environment in the first vice presidential debate on Wednesday, which will take place against an unprecedented backdrop of events. Pence will take the stage as President Trump, his running mate, battles the coronavirus. Trump left the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Monday evening amid continued questions about his health. Both Pence and Harris will take the stage with Plexiglas separating them, sources familiar with the debate plans said, this will serve as a reminder of the White House outbreak that has sidelined not only the president, but some of his closest aides. Yet Harris must also be conscious that her attacks on the administration will come at a time when Trump’s own health could remain in jeopardy.
