Clinton, Trump take stage for crucial first debate

(L-R) Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton shake hands prior to the start of the Presidential Debate at Hofstra University on September 26, 2016 in Hempstead, New York. The first of four debates for the 2016 Election, three Presidential and one Vice Presidential, is moderated by NBC’s Lester Holt.

HEMPSTEAD, United States (AFP) — Democrat Hillary Clinton and her Republican rival Donald Trump took the stage Monday for their crucial first presidential debate, in what could be the most watched US political event in years.

The two White House hopefuls, in a virtual dead heat in polls with barely six weeks before the November 8 election, cordially shook hands as they readied for a 90-minute face-off.
