President Joe Biden will be spending the next seven days at Camp David in preparation for the highly anticipated first presidential debate against former President Donald Trump. The debate, hosted by CNN, will take place on Thursday, June 27, at the network’s Atlanta studios.
After a series of international trips, Biden is taking this time to focus on refining his strategy and responses for what is expected to be a critical moment in the 2024 presidential race. The debate format will feature strict rules, including muted microphones when it is not a candidate’s turn to speak, aimed at ensuring a more orderly exchange than previous debates.
This debate is seen as a crucial opportunity for Biden to address and counteract negative narratives surrounding his presidency and re-establish his campaign’s momentum. Conversely, it provides Trump a platform to bolster his campaign and contrast his policies with those of Biden.
With no live audience present, the debate will be aired live on CNN and streamed on various platforms, including Max, CNN International, and CNN en Español.
