Tonight marks the first of three presidential debates between candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Because of the debate's close proximity to New York City — Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton will face off at Hofstra University in Hempstead, NY — there are many viewing parties scheduled throughout the boroughs. But even if you're not New York-based, and thus unable to indulge in drink specials like the Donald Drumpf and Secret Server, you can still stream the debates live, whether you've got a TV or not.
And you won't be alone in watching: Tonight's debate is expected to break viewership records, drawing in up to 100 million people when it begins at 9 p.m. EDT. The easiest way to watch is right here:
