MILWAUKEE, Wis. (SPECTRUM NEWS) -- All eyes are on Ohio Tuesday night for the first presidential debate between President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden (carried on live on Spectrum News 1 beginning at 8:00 p.m. CDT).

But unlike in past presidential debates, the potential impact of what takes place may be less as polling shows many Americans have made up their minds already (with more than 1,000,000 votes already cast nationwide).

"I don't think this is-- "You're trying to get those undecided voters..."" Spectrum News 1's Tim Boyum said from North Carolina. "I think this is more about trying to get either new voters or make sure the voters that support you go to the polls, It's much more of a turnout election, so I think that could have an impact on motivating those voters to cast that ballot."

Boyum, along with Spectrum News NY1's Errol Louis, Spectrum News 1 Ohio's Curtis Jackson, Spectrum News Orlando's Ybeth Bruzual and Spectrum News SoCal's Alex Cohen will provide post-debate coverage following Tuesday night's debate and the rest of the debates in the run up to Election Day.

"I have covered a lot of elections in my lifetime and I do not think it's hyperbole to say this is the most important, most contenscious, the most unpredictable election season any of us will see in our lifetimes," Cohen said. "There's so much at stake and even the most wise of experts really have no idea what might happen."

"This is a very polarized election so many voters have already made up their minds," Jackson added. "Will a debate sway them in any way? That'll be up to the individual voter. What we do know is debates give us an opportunity to see how the candidates think, and to get an idea of how they will govern."

The debates could also give us a preview of what to expect come November 3rd, with most everyone expecting a long night or-- potentially-- a long week or two before the results are official.

"I feel in my gut that it's going to be a very, very long night. but that's what we're here for, right?" Bruzual said. "Spectrum News 24/7 covering the latest political happenings and it's going to be a nailbiter and we're going to be at the edge of our seats-- thats as much as I can predict."
