All eyes were on the presidential candidates of the United States, as the first presidential debates commenced earlier this week. Two more debates are expected to follow. Viewers from the country and all over the world can catch the second presidential debate on Sunday Oct. 9.

The first presidential debate between Republican candidate Donald Trump and Democratic Candidate Hillary Clinton was held in Hofstra University, Hempstead, New York last Monday, Sept. 26. NBC Nightly News Anchor Lester Holt served as the debate moderator.

In the first debate, questions were divided into six categories. Each segment was allotted 15 minutes. The topics were chosen and announced by the moderator a week before the debate started.

The second presidential debate, on the other hand, will be moderated by ABC's Chief Global Affairs Correspondent and Co-Anchor of "This Week" Martha Raddatz and by CNN Anchor Anderson Cooper. The venue for the forthcoming debate will be at Washington University in St. Louis, MO.

To watch the debate at the venue, guests can buy tickets from the host university. However, the tickets are limited. Viewers from all around the world can catch a live stream of the debate on all major networks. Social media platforms such as YouTube and Twitter offered a free live stream of the event as well.

After the first debate, political analysts such as Jason Johnson were in favor of Clinton after the candidate presented substance and form as opposed to Trump who barely revealed the policies and solutions he intends to put up if elected president. Johnson said that there is a slight chance that the polls at the end of the week will be in favor of Clinton.

The third and final presidential debate will be held on Oct. 19. All of the debates start at 9 p.m. and end at 10:30 p.m. ET.
