DescriptionCNN will host an election debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald J. Trump on June 27, 2024 at 9pm ET from the crucial battleground state of Georgia.

CNN will trust Jake Tapper and Dana Bash with moderating the first presidential debate of the 2024 election cycle.

The debate will be held in CNN’s Atlanta studios. To ensure candidates may maximize the time allotted in the debate, no audience will be present. Moderators for the debate and additional details will be announced at a later date.

To qualify for participation, candidates must fulfill the requirements outlined in Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution of the United States; file a Statement of Candidacy with the Federal Election Commission; a candidate’s name must appear on a sufficient number of state ballots to reach the 270 electoral vote threshold to win the presidency prior to the eligibility deadline; agree to accept the rules and format of the debate; and receive at least 15% in four separate national polls of registered or likely voters that meet CNN’s standards for reporting.

Polls that meet CNN editorial standards and will be considered qualifying polls include those sponsored by: CNN, ABC News, CBS News, Fox News, Marquette University Law School, Monmouth University, NBC News, the New York Times/Siena College, NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist College, Quinnipiac University, the Wall Street Journal, and the Washington Post.

The polling window to determine eligibility for the debate opened March 13, 2024, and closes seven days before the date of the debate.

What a joke! Five jump cuts in 14 seconds, this guy can't even speak for 3 seconds without messing up.

If that's what you got from it then...wow.

Is the Commission on Presidential Debates officially defunct now? I know the GOP ditched support for it in 2022. But wondering if it is still out there waiting just in case.

I guess also not going through CPD will benefit both parties by excluding Kennedy.

Second debate "agreed to" at ABC on Sep. 10 prime time.

Trump wants a third debate on FOX Oct. 2

To answer my own question - its still alive and the Biden campaign has also now opted out of any CPD debates.
