These Are Your Presidential Debate Moderators

Fox News’ Chris Wallace will moderate the first Biden-Trump matchup in Cleveland on Sept. 29, followed by C-SPAN’s Steve Scully in Miami on Oct. 15, which will be a town meeting-style event. NBC News’ Kristen Welker will moderate the final one on Oct. 22 in Nashville. 

Susan Page, the Washington bureau chief of USA Today, will moderate the vice presidential debate between California Sen. Kamala Harris and Vice President Mike Pence on Oct. 7 in Salt Lake City.

“We are grateful to these experienced journalists, who will help ensure that the general election presidential debates continue to serve their unique educational purpose of helping the public learn about the candidates,” the co-chairs of the debate commission said in a statement. “Each individual brings great professionalism to moderating and understands that the purpose of the 2020 debate formats is to facilitate in-depth discussion of major topics.”

A spokesman for Biden’s camp said the former vice president “looks forward to participating in the debates set by the commission, regardless of who the independently chosen moderators are.”

The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the announcement.
