CHICAGO — Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are set to match wits in the final presidential debate at 8 p.m. Wednesday.

The 1½-hour debate on the campus of the University of Nevada-Las Vegas will be hosted by Fox News' Chris Wallace.

The debate — which follow the same format as the first debate — will feature six 15-minute segments, one on each of the topics picked by Wallace: debt and entitlements; immigration; economy; supreme court; foreign hot spots; and fitness to be president.

The debate will be broadcast live on C-SPAN, ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC, as well as all cable news channels. It will also be live streamed by Twitter and YouTube while ABC will partner with Facebook to broadcast the debate.
