Here's what to know about the Joe Biden, Donald Trump competing town halls tonight

The president's town hall is scheduled for the same time, but on NBC News.With only 19 days until the Nov. 3 election, the competing events will act as one of the final moments for each candidate to energize their base and swing undecided voters to their side.Grant Reeher, a political science professor at Syracuse University’s Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, told USA TODAY that Trump could be looking to recover after being largely criticized for his performance in the first presidential debate last month, where the candidates traded insults and crosstalk clogged much of the conversation."I think there's more pressure on (Trump) to remedy that in terms of the way he comes across in this event," Reeher said. Both campaigns have agreed to the Nashville debate, according to the commission.Reeher said that while there probably isn't a large group of undecided voters that could be swayed, doubts can still be raised among voters who have not yet cast a ballot for either candidate.He said Trump could raise doubts among people in certain income levels of what Biden presidency looks like, especially with a Democratic-controlled Congress.
