The next presidential debate is October 9

One debate down. On to the next: The second presidential debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton will be held on Sunday, Oct. 9, at Washington University in St. Louis, Mo.

Prior to that, vice presidential candidates Mike Pence and Tim Kaine will have their only debate on Tuesday, Oct. 4, at Longwood University in Farmville, Va.

Like the first debate, the next two will be carried widely on TV and digital outlets; we’ll have updated information about how to watch and stream the debates in the future.

In the meantime, it will be interesting to see how many people tuned in to Monday night’s debate.

Recode’s readers, via an informal Twitter poll, predicted that the event would draw viewership that would rival the Super Bowl.

But if the rest of the debates follow historical norms, future debates will likely draw lower numbers. Then again, nothing about this election season has followed historical norms.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple reasons that we can't rely only on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on.

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. We can’t do that if we have a paywall.

That’s why we also turn to you, our readers, to help us keep Vox free. If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today?
