After months of uncertainty, President Joe Biden and Republican nominee Donald Trump have agreed to participate in two general election debates. The first debate will be held on June 27, 2024, at CNN’s studios in Atlanta, while the second debate will be hosted by ABC on September 10, 2024. The debates will be moderated by CNN anchors Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, and ABC anchors David Muir and Linsey Davis, respectively. The first debate will take place before either candidate becomes their party’s official nominee, and will cover a wide range of topics including Trump’s criminal hush money trial, Biden’s foreign trips, and the Supreme Court’s term. The second debate will occur before most states begin early voting. Both campaigns have outlined their preferences for the debates, with Biden’s team favoring muted microphones and no live audience, while Trump’s team is pushing for more debates and prefers a stand-up format with a live audience. The deal between the campaigns sidelines the Commission on Presidential Debates, the nonpartisan group that has organized the debates for over three decades. It remains unclear whether third party candidates will qualify for the debates. However, CNN and ABC have set a threshold of 15% in four national polls for candidates to qualify.
