Clinton to Use Customized Podium at First Debate

To make up for her height disadvantage, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, who is 5'4," will use a raised podium for the first presidential debate against Donald Trump Monday night. According to WABC's Rita Cosby , one of the two podiums inside the debate hall at Hofstra University, in Hempstead, New York, is larger than the other.

Debates Will Influence a Third of Voters

The campaigns of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton acknowledged the huge stakes of Monday's televised presidential debate, saying the event could shape the opinions of a large number of Americans who have yet to settle on their choice in what has been a bruising presidential election. After more than year of campaigning and attacking each other from afar, the two candidates will meet face to face for the first time, on a stage in Hempstead, N.Y. And as hard as it is to imagine, there remain enough undecided and loosely committed voters left that this nationally televised forum could produce one more pivot point in the campaign.
