Current US President Joe Biden and his predecessor Donald Trump have agreed on the terms of the debates, which are scheduled to take place on June 27. Thus, CNN has released additional information about the terms agreed upon by the campaigns of the two candidates for the post of head of the United States regarding the debates.

Recall that in November 2024, elections will be held in the United States to choose a new president of the country. Let us emphasize that this will be the 60th election of the head of the United States.

Biden and Trump Debate Rules

The debate, hosted by CNN anchors Jake Tapper and Dana Bash in Atlanta on June 27, will be the first face-to-face meeting of the 2024 campaign between President Joe Biden and his predecessor, Donald Trump.

Both candidates accepted the network's invitation and agreed to the rules and format of the debate, as outlined in letters sent by the network.

CNN notes that the 90-minute debate will include two commercial breaks.

Both candidates are known to have agreed to speak from a single podium, with their places on stage to be determined by a coin toss.

Microphones will also be turned off during the broadcast. They will be turned on for each candidate one at a time during their speech.

In addition, the report notes that opponents will not have the opportunity to use prepared notes, but they will have a pen, notebook, and a bottle of water at their disposal.

CNN added that there will be no audience during the debate, and campaign representatives will not be able to communicate with their candidate.

According to the American TV channel, moderators “will use every tool at their disposal to ensure timing and a civilized discussion.”

Details about the Biden-Trump debate: briefly

• In March 2024, Trump challenged Biden to a debate before the elections, which will take place in November this year.
• Biden then told reporters that Mr. Trump “has nothing better to do.” He also added that if he were Trump, he would “also want to debate with himself.”
• Political strategist Boris Tiesenhausen told Channel 24 that the debates are held according to certain rules. In his opinion, Biden's team is concerned that Trump will conduct the debate dishonestly.
