Clinton, Trump get ready for their close-up

Both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have uncharacteristically managed to keep the number of headlines about themselves to a minimum for the past few days. That is sure to change Monday during the first presidential debate.

The two candidates are set to go head-to-head Monday evening in the first of three debates at Hofstra University in Hempstead, N.Y. The 90-minute debate will be moderated by NBC’s Lester Holt, and the candidates will be asked to comment on three specific topics, subject to change, which include “America’s direction,” “achieving prosperity” and “securing America.”
