Philidelphia PA…The National Constitution Center (NCC) has been selected as the location of the 2024 presidential debate hosted by ABC News on Tuesday, September 10, at 9 p.m. EDT. “World News Tonight” anchor and managing editor David Muir and ABC News Live “Prime” anchor Linsey Davis will serve as moderators.

“The National Constitution Center’s mission is to model civil dialogue and debate and we are honored to be selected as the location for the presidential debate in September,” said Jeffrey Rosen, president and CEO of the National Constitution Center. “Presidential debates are a meaningful opportunity for all Americans to learn more about the principles that define American democracy, embodied in the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the American idea.”

The NCC has played host to numerous high-profile events since its opening on July 4, 2003. The Center hosted the Democratic primary presidential debate in 2008, and two ABC News town halls ahead of the 2020 presidential election, featuring then-President Donald Trump and then-candidate President Joe Biden. Other Center-hosted programs over the years have welcomed Supreme Court justices, federal judges, lawmakers, and civic leaders.

The NCC also awards annually the Liberty Medal, among the nation’s highest honors to be presented to people around the globe who have committed themselves to the blessings of liberty. Past winners include: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Supreme Court Justices Anthony Kennedy and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, President George W. Bush and First Lady Laura Bush, Senator John McCain, Congressman John Lewis and many others. The 2024 Liberty Medal recipient is filmmaker Ken Burns.
