Summary Every four years in the United States of America, candidates from different political parties stand in front of the nation to showcase their ideas and sell their visions of the future before Election Day. Presidential debates are a way for candidates to share their ideas, show how they are different from other candidates, and garner support from voters.

Detailed fact boxes and pictures from some of the most consequential debates in history help readers make connections about this exciting aspect of U.S. presidential elections.
