       What to watch for as Harris and Trump face off It’s the moment an entire nation has been waiting for: debate night.

       Vice President Kamala Harris and Donald Trump will share the stage for the first, and probably only, time before the November vote. The stakes are high for both of them. The race is exceedingly close, and voters are still craving more information about Harris.

       Of course, policies and promises will feature heavily, but expect the attacks to get personal as well. Trump’s advisers have counseled him to stay away from his usual strategy of insulting opponents and critics, but many worry he won’t be able to restrain himself. For her part, Harris isn’t above using ridicule, suggesting in the past that Trump and his allies were “out of their minds.”

       The debate will air at 9 p.m. Eastern. The Times will be livestreaming the event alongside real-time analysis by reporters. Here’s how to watch it.
