Biden and Trump to Face Off in 2024 Presidential Debate

TFD – On June 27, Joe Biden and Donald Trump, the oldest presidential contenders in U.S. history, will debate in Atlanta. This unprecedented debate will feature new rules, including no live audience, setting the stage for a unique showdown as both candidates vie for the presidency in the 2024 election.

On June 27, the two oldest U.S. presidential contenders to date will square off in Atlanta for a never-before-seen televised debate. Despite the fact that they are only three years apart in age, one accuses his opponent of being a threat to democracy, while the other makes fun of his opponent as being old.

With less than five months until the election on November 5, Democratic incumbent President Joe Biden, 81, and GOP front-runner and former President Donald Trump, 78, are deadlocked in national opinion polls.

However, the guidelines for this year’s discussion are a little different from previous ones: there won’t be a live studio audience, to start. That might provide issues for both candidates, especially for Trump, who gets his energy from an enthusiastic audience.

Along with muted microphones and two commercial breaks where the candidates cannot speak with their campaign staff, this is just one of several additional regulations put on the CNN debate.

Given that neither contender has performed on stage in front of an audience before, it is unclear how they will fare. Trump caused himself no harm by declining to take part in the Republican primary debates in 2024, as he handily defeated all of his opponents to win the party’s nomination. Biden hasn’t participated in a debate in nearly four years.

Four-person party

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a third-party contender, could not meet CNN’s qualifying requirements to take the stage by the deadline on Thursday, thus Trump and Biden will be the only candidates present in the debate. CNN anchors Jake Tapper and Dana Bash will serve as moderators and will be present in the room.

Kennedy qualified for the ballot in just six states, according to CNN’s tally, and garnered at least 15% of the vote in just three recognized polls. To win the presidency, that would not be sufficient.

Senator Chris Van Hollen, a Democrat from Maryland, stated on Sunday that the candidates would be able to concentrate on the issues since there would be no live audience, which would be “an advantage to the American people.”
