Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump Go Head To Head In First Presidential Debate

NPR

Published September 26, 2016 at 11:06 AM MDT

Students acting as "stand-ins" for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump take part in a rehearsal for the first U.S. presidential debate at Hofstra University on Sept. 25, 2016 in Hempstead, N.Y. (Win McNamee/Getty Images)

The highly anticipated first presidential debate begins Monday at 9 p.m. ET at Hofstra University on Long Island.

While all eyes are on Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, moderator Lester Holt will share some of the spotlight. Both campaigns and the general public are curious to see how strict the NBC anchor will be when it comes to fact-checking the candidates.

NPR’s Domenico Montanaro joins Here & Now’s Robin Young to preview tonight’s debate.
