The last of the 2020 presidential debates is just about here. After a chaotic first matchup between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, a more subdued (but still buzzy) vice presidential debate between Mike Pence and Kamala Harris, and dueling Trump-Biden town hall events in lieu of a second debate, the whole process has felt long and, at times, extremely disorderly. Still, Trump and Biden will face each other on stage one last time, with their next and last presidential debate set for Thursday, Oct. 22 at 9/8c, ahead of the general election on Tuesday, Nov. 3.

Some rule changes are being introduced for this debate, which will take place at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee, with NBC News White House correspondent Kristen Welker moderating. Though the format will mimic that of the first presidential debate, with six 15-minute segments on different topics, the moderator will now have the ability to mute the microphone of the candidate not speaking during the other candidate’s opening two-minute remarks on each topic. The microphones will not be muted after those remarks are completed and the topic moves into open debate. Interruptions during the debate portions after the two-minute opening remarks will count towards the interrupting candidate’s time. The debates commission also announced the six topics Welker selected for the candidates to discuss: fighting COVID-19, American families, race in America, climate change, national security, and leadership.
