As a follower of politics and a keen observer of American elections, I am eagerly anticipating the highly-anticipated debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. Having lived through their respective tenures in office, I believe this encounter will offer valuable insights into their views on critical issues that matter most to voters.
On Thursday night, President Biden and his predecessor, Former President Trump, are scheduled to face off in the initial debate of the 2024 presidential race. This unexpectedly early encounter is seen by some as marking the formal start of the summer political campaign.
On Thursday, voters who feel they have a good understanding of the two front-running candidates from their time in office will have a chance to hear their stances on key concerns driving the electorate, including the economy, immigration, abortion, and foreign policy. The latest presidential polls indicate that the two contenders are virtually tied.
Here’s everything you need to know about the debate:
What time
Beginning Thursday at 6 p.m. Pacific Time, the debate will take place and is anticipated to continue for 90 minutes. Two breaks of approximately 3½ minutes each have been scheduled for advertising purposes. During these intervals, the candidates are required to abstain from communicating with their campaign teams as per CNN’s regulations.
How to watch
CNN will broadcast the debate on its primary cable TV channel, in addition to their website CNN.com, CNN International, CNN Max, and CNN en Español. The debate will also be made available for simulcast by other platforms. Most major news networks are anticipated to air the debate as well.
How it will work
In Atlanta’s CNN studios, where over 73 million people watched the presidential debates four years ago, the contenders will square off once more. Through a random drawing, it was decided that Biden will debate with Trump to the right of the camera, while Trump will deliver his final remarks following Biden’s stint, as reported by CNN.
The network made an announcement: During the entire event, Biden and Trump’s microphones will be turned off to prevent interruptions, as there were many instances of this happening previously. There won’t be a live audience present. CNN hosts Jake Tapper and Dana Bash will oversee the proceedings instead.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an independent candidate who didn’t make the cut for the debate, has arranged for his own event instead. Scheduled for 6 p.m. Pacific time on Thursday, he’s calling it “The Authentic Debate.”
