The Commission on Presidential Debates on Wednesday announced that the moderators for the general election debates will include Fox News' Chris Wallace, USA Today's Susan Page, C-SPAN's Steve Scully and NBC News' Kirsten Welker.
What to watch: It's a wild card how President Trump will react to the moderator list, but he has previously been a harsh critic of Chris Wallace.

- Vice presidential debate on Oct. 7: USA Today's Susan Page
- Second presidential debate on Oct. 15: C-SPAN's Steve Scully

- The second presidential debate will be held through a town meeting, with audience members posing questions.
