Sunday nights usually reserved for those few precious moments in everyone’s week to spend time with family, read a good book, catch up with friends, or simply relax in solitude. But not this Sunday. No, no—this Sunday is fight night in America.
On Sunday, October 9 at 9 p.m. ET, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton will return to the stage for the second presidential debate. And if the first debate was any indication, the voting public should be in for a real treat.
However, this debate is a little different. Instead of the two nominees standing tall behind lecterns and answering questions posed by a moderator, they instead will be taking questions from the audience and general public.
As part of the town hall debate, the ABC and CNN moderators agreed to consider questions submitted to the Open Debate Coalition’s website. Users there can submit questions covering a wide range of topics, including gun control, the economy, foreign policy, education, and the environment, among others. From there, users can vote for the questions they hope to see at the debate. So far the site has received more than 2.5 million votes.
