Green Party nominee Jill Stein was excluded from the first presidential debate along with Libertarian Gary Johnson, but she is planning a protest to take place outside the building where the event will be held Monday evening. After the "Let Jill Debate" rally, both Stein and Johnson will live tweet their own remarks throughout the debate.
Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will spend the weekend prepping to take the stage. Clinton has reportedly spent a month honing her answers in practice debates, something the Trump campaign dismissed as the "hallmarks of a career politician who has spent too much time seeking and clinging to power."
