The final presidential debate between President Donald Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is Thursday, Oct. 22, in Nashville, Tennessee.

The debate marks the second showdown between Trump and Biden after Trump's decision to back out of the Oct. 15 debate set off a furious back and forth between the two campaigns on the debate schedule and formats. Trump and Biden ultimately hosted dueling town halls on Oct. 15 on NBC and ABC.

The debate will be hosted by Belmont University in Nashville, and NBC News’ Kristen Welker will serve as moderator.

USA TODAY's nationwide team of journalists will provide facts and context on screen as Trump and Biden debate.
