(Hempstead, NY) — Anticipation is building ahead of tonight’s first presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. All eyes will be on New York’s Hofstra University, as polls show an increasingly tight race between the two. Polls also reflect high negative ratings for both nominees. The prime-time debate will be moderated by Lester Holt of NBC News. He has announced three key topics for the debate: America’s direction, achieving prosperity and securing the United States.
