The '''1980 United States presidential debates''' were a series of [[United States presidential debates|debates]] held for the [[1980 United States presidential election|presidential election]]. The [[League of Women Voters]] organized two presidential debates: the first on September 21, 1980, and the second on October 28, 1980. The second presidential debate is the second most-watched debate in American history.

The [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]] nominee [[Ronald Reagan]] participated in both debates. [[Independent politician|Independent]] candidate [[John B. Anderson]] only participated in the first debate, while the [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic]] nominee and incumbent [[President of the United States|President]] [[Jimmy Carter]] participated in the second debate.

==League of Women Voters-sponsored debates==
===Negotiations===
The tentative schedule for the debates, reported in August 1980, was as follows:<ref>{{cite news |last1=Bitzer |first1=Lloyd F. |last2=Rueter |first2=Theodore |title=The 1980 Debates |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1980/08/24/archives/the-1980-debates.html |access-date=October 9, 2020 |work=[[The New York Times]] |date=August 24, 1980}}</ref>
* September 18, in [[Baltimore]], [[Maryland]]
* October 2, in [[Louisville, Kentucky]] (Vice Presidential debate)
* October 13, in [[Portland, Oregon]]
* October 27, in [[Cleveland]], [[Ohio]]

The 1980 election featured a major third-party candidate, [[John B. Anderson]]. The [[League of Women Voters]] allowed for Anderson to participate in the debate if he polled above 15%.<ref name="The New York Times">{{cite news |title=Presidential Debate Plan Appears to Be in Jeopardy |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1980/08/25/archives/campaign-report-presidential-debate-plan-appears-to-be-in-jeopardy.html |access-date=October 9, 2020 |work=[[The New York Times]] |agency=[[Associated Press]] |date=August 24, 1980}}</ref>

The Carter campaign, believing that a three-way debate between Carter, Reagan, and Anderson would boost Anderson's campaign, tried to push for an earlier debate only featuring Carter and Reagan<ref name="The New York Times"/> This plan was supported by the chairs of the [[Democratic National Committee|Democratic]] and [[Republican National Committee]].<ref>{{cite news |last1=Clymer |first1=Adam |title=G.O.P Joins Carter Plea for Debate Without Anderson; League's Plans in Doubt Important to Anderson |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1980/08/26/archives/gop-joins-carter-plea-for-debate-without-anderson-leagues-plans-in.html |access-date=October 9, 2020 |work=[[The New York Times]] |date=August 25, 2020}}</ref> The two-person debate did not materialize, and Carter declined to debate alongside Anderson.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Smith |first1=Hedrick |title=Carter Declines to Debate After Anderson Is Invited |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1980/09/10/archives/carter-declines-to-debate-after-anderson-is-invited-first-clearcut.html |access-date=October 9, 2020 |work=[[The New York Times]] |date=September 10, 1980}}</ref>

The Vice Presidential debate was cancelled on September 29, days before it was scheduled to be held. [[George H. W. Bush]] and [[Walter Mondale]] refused to attend, leaving only Anderson's running mate [[Patrick Lucey]] accepting the invitation.<ref>{{cite news |title=Voters League Cancels Vice-Presidential Debate |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1980/09/30/archives/campaign-report-voters-league-cancels-vicepresidential-debate.html?searchResultPosition=1 |access-date=October 9, 2020 |work=[[The New York Times]] |date=September 30, 1980}}</ref>
