First Presidential Debate 2016

TV Matches Aren't All That Important and Trump's Less Trusted

For the first time in the run-up to the presidential election in November the candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will directly clash live on TV. The debate will take place on Monday in Hempstead in Long Island, hosted by NBC anchor Lester Holt.
