Where To Watch The Final Presidential Debate: NYC, Washington Watch Parties For Democrats And Republicans

The time has nearly arrived for the third and final presidential debate, and it might be worthy of a strong cocktail.

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will go head-to-head one last time on the debate stage, and it’s sure to be an unforgettable match between the two presidential candidates. The debate will take place Wednesday at 9 p.m. Major networks, including CNN and PBS, plan to live stream the event. It will run for 90 minutes uninterrupted and will be held at the University of Nevada in Las Vegas.

The debate will be moderated by Chris Wallace of Fox News, and the central topics for the evening will include immigration, the economy, debt and entitlements, and the Supreme Court, among other issues of discussion, according to CNN.

With the final debate right around the corner, it might be best to stake out a location ahead of time to beat the crowds. Anheuser-Busch recently released a survey that revealed that out of more than 1,000 beer-drinking, registered voters, 84 percent of those surveyed preferred to come together to discuss a political issue over a beer -- so you'll be in good company.
