The University of Utah will host a vice presidential debate next year

America’s candidates for vice president will debate next year at the University of Utah — on Oct. 7, 2020 — the Commission on Presidential Debates announced Friday.

It “will be broadcast to millions around the world. This is the first time a national debate will be hosted in Utah — kind of a big deal,” said U. President Ruth Watkins. “We are the only Western state to host one of the debates leading up to next year’s presidential election.”

The Commission on Presidential Debates is holding four events next year — three presidential debates and one for the vice presidential nominees.

The presidential debates are scheduled for Sept. 29, 2020, at the University of Notre Dame, in Indiana; Oct. 15, 2020, at the University of Michigan; and Oct. 22, 2020, at Belmont University in Nashville, Tenn.
