Coverage gets underway at 8:30 p.m. with the Fox News special, “Democracy ’24.”

Then at 9 p.m., the debate will kick off.

CNN’s Jake Tapper and Dana Bash will host the debate, which will take place in Atlanta, Ga. Both candidates agreed to appear at a uniform podium, and their podium positions will be determined by a coin flip.

Microphones will be muted throughout the debate except when it’s that candidate’s turn to speak. Candidates will be given a pen, a pad of paper and a water bottle, but they cannot bring prewritten notes on stage. There will be no studio audience.
