Fox News’ Chris Wallace, NBC News’ Kirsten Welker, and C-span’s Steve Scully will each moderate one of three Presidential Debates leading up to the 2020 election, taking center stage in seminal events in the campaign to win the White House later this year.
The non-profit Commission on Presidential Debates said Wednesday that the three debates would each be 90 minutes long, as would a separate vice-presidential debate moderated by Susan Page of USA Today. The events will start at 9 p.m eastern.
The moderator choices are notable because they do not include what has typically been a staple for events such as these – one of the main evening-news anchors from one of the broadcast networks, or a weekday anchor from a cable-news outlet. NBC News’ Lester Holt, ABC News’ Martha Raddatz and CNN’s Anderson Cooper and Wallace moderated the 2016 presidential debates, while CBS News’ Elaine Quijano moderated that year’s vice-presidential event.
