President Biden and former President Donald J. Trump are set to face off on a debate stage after four years of anticipation. The highly anticipated debate, hosted by CNN at its Atlanta studios, will take place on Thursday at 9 p.m. Eastern time. Unlike previous debates, this one will not have an in-person audience and will occur before both candidates formally accept their party nominations this summer.
Where to Watch:
– The New York Times will stream the debate with real-time commentary and analysis from reporters.
– CNN will broadcast or stream the debate on all its platforms, including CNN International, CNN en Español, and CNN Max. The network will also stream the debate on CNN.com without requiring a login or subscription.
– CNN is sharing its feed with other broadcast and cable news networks, so you can also watch it on Fox News, ABC News, and other channels.
Will Robert F. Kennedy Jr. be onstage?
No, he did not meet CNN’s requirements to participate in the debate. Participants needed to have at least 15% 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. Ross Perot remains the last independent candidate to have qualified for a general election presidential debate in 1992.
Moderators:
The debate will be moderated by Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, both prominent figures at CNN and hosts of the network’s Sunday political talk show, “State of the Union.” Jake Tapper is CNN’s chief Washington correspondent, while Dana Bash is the network’s chief political correspondent.
