Joe Biden and Donald Trump have agreed to hold two presidential debates in June and September, setting the stage for a high-stakes political duel that could shake up the race for the White House.
CNN will host its first forum in Georgia on June 27.
ABC will host a second event on September 10.
This announcement comes after Democratic President Biden proposed that he would hold a debate with his Republican predecessor ahead of the November presidential election.
CNN said there will be no audience for the June debate in Atlanta, hosted by hosts Jake Tapper and Dana Bash. It is scheduled unusually early in an election year.
ABC said presenters David Muir and Lindsey Davis would moderate the second debate, but the network did not specify a location.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., running as an independent candidate, accused the two major candidates of conspiring to exclude him.
But late Wednesday, he said on X (formerly Twitter) that he would meet the CNN debate eligibility requirements.
President Trump said this through his social media platform ‘Truth Social’., Out He also reportedly accepted an invitation from Fox News for a third fight on October 2nd. But Biden’s campaign chairman, Jen O’Malley Dillon, said the president “made clear his terms for two one-on-one debates and Donald Trump accepted those terms.”
