The highly anticipated debate between President Biden and former President Donald J. Trump is set to take place at CNN’s Atlanta studios on Thursday at 9 p.m. Eastern time. This momentous event, four years in the making, will be a flashpoint in their long-running hostilities.
Unlike past debates, this one will be held without an in-person audience and before the formal acceptance of their parties’ nominations this summer. The New York Times will be streaming the debate with real-time commentary and analysis from reporters, while CNN will broadcast or stream the event on all its platforms, including CNN International, CNN en Español, and CNN Max.
Moderated by CNN anchors Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, the debate will not feature Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as he failed to meet CNN’s requirements for participation. Participants had to receive at least 15 percent support in four approved national polls and qualify for the ballot in enough states to have a chance at earning the 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency.
This historic event is sure to be a must-watch for political enthusiasts and casual viewers alike. Tune in to witness this pivotal moment in American politics.
