The race for the White House heats up tonight when the two presidential candidates face-off in their first debate. Will it be a debate on issues? Will the debate become personal? What questions will the moderator, Lester Holt, ask the candidates? Will anyone stay on track or will it be a free-for-all?
It’s expected that upwards of 100-million people will view tonight’s debate. It’s going to be interesting.
One issue that has already been hotly debated in the media, are the foundations that Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have. Business Insider takes a look at both.
Oh, and may your candidate win round one tonight!
By Allan Smith, Business Insider:
In an election season marred by controversy and allegations, it’s only fitting for the charitable foundations of the two major party candidates to get tangled in the mess.
Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton now find their foundations at the heart of the election discussion with roughly six weeks to go until Election Day in what can only be described as an “unprecedented” situation.
On Tuesday, David Fahrenthold of The Washington Post published a series of stunning revelations about the Trump Foundation, reporting that the Republican presidential nominee used hundreds of thousands of dollars from the charity to settle matters related to his businesses.
Elsewhere on Tuesday, Wall Street Journal reporter James Grimaldi published a story on Clinton’s husband, former President Bill Clinton, being paid $260,000 to give a speech in 2014 for a company that would later work on a project in Haiti directly alongside the Clinton Foundation.
