"World News Tonight" anchor David Muir and ABC News Live "Prime" anchor Linsey Davis will moderate the debate but not share the topics and questions with the candidates before the event.

The 90-minute event will be broadcast live on Sept. 10 at 9 p.m. ET on ABC and simulcast on C-SPAN, Fox News, PBS and others.
