Big changes are underway in the United States, as the country gears up to elect a new president, one-third of the Senate, and the entire House of Representatives this November. The outcome will have profound consequences for U.S. economic policy, and thus for the global economy.&nbsp;Ms. Carla will be watching the Presidential debate. How about you?&nbsp;

First presidential debate
Moderator:&nbsp;Lester Holt, Anchor, NBC Nightly News
Location:&nbsp;Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY

The first debate will be divided into six time
segments of approximately 15 minutes each on major topics to be selected by the
moderator and announced at least one week before the debate. The moderator will
open each segment with a question, after which each candidate will have two
minutes to respond. Candidates will then have an opportunity to respond to each
other. The moderator will use the balance of the time in the segment for a
deeper discussion of the topic.

*Wright State University in Ohio has&nbsp;withdrawn&nbsp;from holding the First
Presidential debate due to budget issues. Hofstra University will step in to
host the first Clinton/Trump debate.

THE
INTERMINABLE PRESIDENTIAL&nbsp;campaign is almost over! Monday
night’s&nbsp;presidential debate marks the start of the seven-week home stretch
in the race between Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and Republican nominee
Donald Trump. They square off at&nbsp;9 pm Eastern at Hofstra University. Can’t
be there? No problem. You can watch it pretty much anywhere.

On TV

Unlike the primary season debates, the three
presidential debates will be simulcast across the major networks and
cable&nbsp;channels. Pick one: ABC, NBC, Fox, CBS, MSNBC, Fox News, CNN,
Univision, or&nbsp;C-SPAN. Lester Holt of NBC is the moderator, if you want to stick
with the home team.

Online

All of the networks and
major cable outlets have an online presence, so of course they are
streaming&nbsp;the debates&nbsp;along with&nbsp;digital-first outlets like
Buzzfeed News, The Daily Caller, Huffington Post, Politico, and Yahoo.
Telemundo, theWall Street Journal, and Hulu will stream it,
too.

One online effort worth a
special mention? PBSNewsHour&nbsp;and&nbsp;Microsoft have&nbsp;created an interactive site&nbsp;where you
can&nbsp;check out presidential debates since 1960, filtered by specific topics
or by year.&nbsp;Mon dieu, Mondale!

Getting Social

Will Facebook, Twitter,
Snapchat, and YouTube pass up this prime chance at engagement? They will not.
Look for&nbsp;Facebook Live broadcasts from journalists and those packed into
Hofstra. Twitter will use the same live streaming system it uses for&nbsp;Thursday
night football, trading sacks for fact checks and leaning on
Bloomberg for footage. The candidates won’t be wearing&nbsp;Specs, but Snapchat will
compile&nbsp;Live Stories for bite-sized debate nuggets. YouTube will
feature&nbsp;coverage from NBC News, PBS, Fox News,&nbsp;The
Washington Post, Bloomberg,
and Telemundo.

Virtual Reality, But Don’t

NBC will stream the
debate&nbsp;in 360 degrees through a partnership with AltspaceVR, including, no
joke, a “virtual Al Roker.” The good news is that AltspaceVR has apps for all
the major platforms, including Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and Gear VR. The bad news
is that this is&nbsp;not a&nbsp;way that we recommend anyone watch a debate.


OK, you’re all set! It’s going to be easy to do
your civic duty and watch the first presidential debate.
