Wallace was widely praised for his performance moderating a 2016 debate between Trump and Hillary Clinton when he became the first Fox News anchor to be selected to moderate a general election debate.
“We are grateful to these experienced journalists, who will help ensure that the general election presidential debates continue to serve their unique educational purpose of helping the public learn about the candidates. Each individual brings great professionalism to moderating and understands that the purpose of the 2020 debate formats is to facilitate in-depth discussion of major topics,” CPD co-chairs Frank J. Fahrenkopf, Jr., Dorothy S. Ridings and Kenneth Wollack said in a statement.
The first debate will consist of six, 15-minute segments, on topics selected by Wallace. The topics will be announced one week prior to the debate.
