From 1960 to 2020 all presidential debate history is here.

 

Given that voters have less than a year until election day, the first presidential debates are scheduled for 2024.

The dates and venues for the three presidential debates and the vice presidential debate were announced by the impartial Commission on Presidential Debates. The events will take place at four different schools and universities prior to the general election.

Co-chairs of the commission Frank Fahrenkopf and Antonia Hernández stated in the announcement news release that "the United States' general election debates, watched live worldwide, are a model for many other countries: the opportunity to hear and see leading candidates address serious issues in a fair and neutral setting."

When's the upcoming Republican presidential debate?

According to a news release from the RNC, the fourth Republican presidential primary debate is set for Wednesday, December 6 from 7-9 p.m. Central time. It will be held in the Frank Moody Music Building at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

Eliana Johnson, the top editor of the Washington Free Beacon, Elizabeth Vargas, anchor of NewsNation, and talk show personality Megyn Kelly will moderate.
