Kamala Harris and Donald Trump will meet for the first time face-to-face for perhaps their only debate in the US presidential election, a high-pressure opportunity to showcase their starkly different visions for the country after a tumultuous campaign summer.

The event, at 9pm local time on Tuesday in Philadelphia, will offer Americans their most detailed look at a campaign that has dramatically changed since the last debate in June.
