The debate falls at a pivotal time in the election cycle and through the help and support of these partners, many more of their customers will have access to it on November 10th."

Presented by FBN in conjunction with The Wall Street Journal, the debates will focus on jobs, taxes and the general health of the economy, as well as domestic and international policy issues.
