Presumptive Democratic and Republican nominees Joe Biden and Donald Trump have officially agreed to two debates for the 2024 election season, scheduled for June 27th on CNN and September 10th on ABC. Talks between the campaigns have been ongoing since April, with Biden's team opting out of debates organized by the Commission on Presidential Debates due to dissatisfaction with the commission's handling of the 2020 debates. CNN will host the first debate in Atlanta without a live audience, moderated by Jake Tapper and Dana Bash. The agreed-upon schedule potentially excludes third-party candidates unless they meet the CPD's participation threshold, highlighting the dominance of Biden and Trump in the race. These debates mark a crucial point in the 2024 election, offering insights into the strategies and trajectories of the candidates' campaigns.
