In one week, Republican nominee Donald Trump and Democratic Party standard-bearer Hillary Clinton will face each other for the first time during the 2016 election cycle. On Monday, the topics for next week's debate were released by moderator Lester Holt.
Holt, an anchor at NBC News, announced that the debate held at Hofstra University will feature three themes:
America's Direction
Achieving Prosperity
Securing America
While Holt did not say how much time he would spend on each topic, the Commission on Presidential Debates previously announced that the first debate would feature six 15-minute segments. Presumably, Holt will spend 30 minutes on each topic.
