The Vice Presidential Debate Between Kamala Harris and Mike Pence.
The VP Debate will be at the University of Utah, at Kingsbury Hall on President's Circle, Wednesday, October 7th, 2020.
The Co-Chairman of the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD), Frank J. Fahrenkopf, says the Event will be Smaller than usual. There won't be more than 150 to 200 People On-Site.
The University is currently looking for Volunteers, Primarily University Students, to help as Greeters, Runners, and Media Personnel, among others.
Susan Page will Moderate the Event. The Washington Bureau Chief for USA TODAY will Oversee the Debate. It will be her First time Hosting such an Event. She's covered the White House for Four Decades and through Six Presidencies and is now covering her 11th Presidential Campaign.
Days after the Announcement, it was Revealed that Page hosted a Party late in 2018 for Seema Verma, who Runs the Trump Administration's Medicare and Medicaid Programs. She reportedly Paid over $4,000 from her pocket to Cover Catering and other Reception Costs.
USA Today, Chrissy Terrell, Spokesperson said that the Event was "to honor women on both sides of the aisle doing notable things," and that it was "well within the ethical standards that our journalists are expected to uphold."
There have been calls for Page to Step-Down from the Debate due to the Report's findings, but as of now, she is still said to be the Moderator for the Event.
The Debate will start at, 9 p.m. ET, and will run for 90 minutes without Commercial Interruption. You'll be able to Watch it on every Major Cable Network such as: CBS, ABC, CNN, C-SPAN, Fox, Fox News, NBC, and MSNBC. It will Stream for Free on YouTube.
The CPD has indicated that they'll be working Closely with the Cleveland Clinic to Determine what will be Safe in Terms of Protocol.
Particular focus has been directed towards the issues of Healthcare, on which Harris' Stance has Changed, but so too has the Administration's. Harris' Long and Varied Experience as Attorney General; and Harris' pointed Questioning of Attorney General William Barr on the Senate Judiciary Committee, among others.
Harris and Pence are likely working to Appeal to different Voting Demographics, Harris has come out in support of Working Class, Elderly, and Middle Class Family Voters in her Public Appearances, whereas Pence Appeals to Conservative Christians, so it'll likely also Result in highly Different Stances on Issues facing the Nation, including COVID-19, the Economy, the Climate Crisis, Racial Justice, and Gun Control.
Harris is prepping for theDdebates by Practicing with Former Presidential Candidate, Pete Buttigieg, who's posing as Pence in Mock Debates, because of his familiarity with the Vice President, since Buttigieg was Mayor of South Bend when Pence was the Governor of Indiana.
