Third Presidential Debate: Where to Watch on October 19, 2016
Here's a list of top SF watch parties for the third presidential debate between Clinton and Trump
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, the respective Democratic and Republican presidential nominees, have already faced off in two televised debates this election season.
The first presidential debate took place on Monday, September 26 at Hofstra University in New York.
The second presidential debate, which took the form of a town hall meeting, happened last Sunday, October 9 at Washington University in St. Louis, MO.
Now Clinton and Trump will meet face-to-face one last time in the third and final presidential debate of the 2016 election.
The debate will be held on Wednesday, October 19 at 6:00 PM PT at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in (where else?) Las Vegas, NV.
There are lots of options for watching the third presidential debate on television and online.
But, if you’d prefer to watch in the company of your fellow San Franciscans, there are more than a dozen watch parties happening around the city.
