Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris went head to head in their first official debate at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia on Tuesday night.

It was the first time the two have met face-to-face, likely for the only debate before Election Day on Nov. 5.

Anchors David Muir and Linsey Davis moderated the debate before no audience, with strict rules including muted mics and no pre-written notes. Debate rules call for a candidate’s microphone to be muted when their opponent is speaking, something Trump’s campaign sought because interruptions turn many voters off.
