Here are some key questions surrounding the upcoming presidential debates.

O’Rourke wants more debates, but Abbott has indicated this is the only one he is willing to do before the November election.

Here are key early takeaways from the only vice presidential debate ahead of the Nov. 3 Election Day. To be sure, there were sharp moments, some modest interruptions and violations of the debate clock. In tone and content, their debate was like an alternate universe from the one Americans saw little more than a week ago.

There was briefly another participant swooping into Wednesday night’s vice presidential debate. For several minutes, a fly landed in Vice President Mike Pence’s hair, not moving as he answered questions about racial injustice and whether justice has been done in the death of Breonna Taylor. Conversation about the fly briefly dominated corners of Twitter, where debate watchers discussed their distraction and inability to focus on Pence and California Sen. Kamala Harris' answers. Wednesday night’s intruder wasn’t the first to take center stage at an election-year debate. In 2016, a fly briefly landed between Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s eyes during a town hall-style debate with now-President Donald Trump.
