The stage in Salt Lake City is set for Wednesday's vice presidential debate.

Vice President Mike Pence and Democratic Party vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris will take the stage at 8 p.m. Wednesday.

Everyone in the audience will be required to wear a face mask. The candidates will be seated 12 feet apart.

The debate is expected to focus on the coronavirus pandemic, the economy and other hot-button issues.

Stocks tumbled Tuesday after President Donald J. Trump announced that negotiations over a second round of economic stimulus programs stalled.

Trump and Republicans blamed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for the stalemate; Democrats blamed the White House for including items unrelated to the pandemic.

Correction: The vice presidential debate will take place at 8 p.m. Central Standard Time.
