According to CNN, the debate will be held in the network’s Atlanta studios with no audience present. CNN anchors Jake Tapper and Dana Bash will moderate.

Both presumptive candidates later said that they have also agreed to a second debate, to be held Sept. 10 and air on ABC. David Muir and Linsey Davis of ABC News will moderate that event, our sister site Deadline reports.

Election Day this year is Tuesday, Nov. 5.

It was a month ago that major broadcast and cable news networks released a joint statement urging the “presumptive presidential nominees” to commit to general election debates. The letter was signed by CNN as well as ABC News, The Associated Press, CBS News, C-SPAN, Fox News Media, NBCUniversal News Group, NewsNation, Noticias Univision (Univision Network News), NPR, PBS NewsHour and USA Today.

That petition outlined the importance of debates, calling them a “rich tradition in our American democracy” and a “vital” component in elections since 1976. “In each of those elections, tens of millions have tuned in to watch the candidates debating side by side, in a competition of ideas for the votes of American citizens,” the letter stated.

“If there is one thing Americans can agree on during this polarized time, it is that the stakes of this election are exceptionally high,” the letter concluded. “Amidst that backdrop, there is simply no substitute for the candidates debating with each other, and before the American people, their visions for the future of our nation.”
