Are you ready for the showdown of the century? Clinton vs. Trump.
Twitter, in partnership with Bloomberg, has expanded its live TV offering and will broadcast the 2016 U.S. presidential/vice presidential debates and Canadians will be able to tune in.
The debates will begin on Monday, September 26th and will stream from debates.twitter.com. As part of the agreement, Bloomberg will host 30 minutes of pre and post commentary by politics managing editors Mark Halperin and John Heilemann.
“Twitter is where the 2016 presidential election is happening every single day,” said Anthony Noto, Twitter’s chief financial officer. “Livestreaming the debates with Bloomberg combined with the live commentary and conversation on Twitter will create a one-screen experience at the center of the action unlike any other.”
Debate schedule:
- Monday, September 26th, First Presidential Debate
- Tuesday, October 4th, Vice Presidential Debate
- Sunday, October 9th, Second Presidential Debate
- Wednesday, October 19th, Third Presidential Debate
This live streaming coverage follows the Democratic and Republican debates, which Twitter stated it received over one billion impressions.
