Biden vs. Trump: First Debate Date Announced

The first US presidential debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump is scheduled for Thursday, June 27, at 21:00 EST, and will be broadcast live from Atlanta, Georgia on CNN. This debate marks the earliest televised US general election debate since 1960 and is not organized by the traditional bipartisan Commission on Presidential Debates. Both candidates have been preparing rigorously, with Biden focusing on a "punchier" approach and Trump engaging in informal policy discussions. Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. did not qualify for the debate.
