Incumbent US President and Democratic candidate Joe Biden, and his Republic opponent Donald Trump confirmed their participation in two debates before the 2024 presidential election. These debates will be held on June 27 and September 10 and will be broadcast by CNN and ABC, respectively. Both Biden and Trump’s campaigns have set down specific conditions which include no live audience to ensure a more controlled and focused environment.
As the 2024 Presidential election are approaching on November 5, President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are getting ready for a crucial debate against each other. There is considerable prediction which surrounds this event, as it promises a strong and powerful exchange of ideas and policies that will influence the upcoming election.
This agreement comes after months of negotiation and public sparring. Biden’s team recommended for earlier debates without a live audience to avoid disruptions, while Trump pushed for larger venues with audiences to boost his performance.
Jen O’Malley Dillon, Biden’s campaign chair, emphasized that a controlled setting is crucial to focus on voter interests rather than audience reactions, preventing the debates from becoming just a source for entertainment. The agreement followed Biden’s challenge to Trump on twitter, who quickly accepted and suggested additional debates, which Biden’s team declined.
These debates will play a crucial role in shaping public perception as the candidates will address major issues like abortion rights, COVID-19, and democracy. The decision to bypass the traditional debate commission shows both campaigns’ desire to control the debate environment and outcomes closely.
Voters will soon see the two contenders face off directly, each aiming to influence public opinion and secure their path to the White House in 2024.
