Tonight marks a critical moment in the 2024 presidential race as President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump face off in the first of two scheduled debates. This event, starting at 9 p.m. EDT, will be a vital platform for both candidates to present their visions for the future of the United States. Recent debate about age and fitness for office will mean that viewers will be watching each nominee attentively.
The debate, moderated by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, will be broadcast on CNN, Fox News, NewsNation, and ABC News. It will also be available for streaming on Hulu and CNN.com. With no live audience and strict rules, including muted microphones except when speaking, the debate aims to ensure a focused and orderly exchange, at least as much as possible.
For those looking to add a bit of fun to the night, several news organizations have created presidential debate Bingo cards. The game involves crossing off squares featuring common phrases or terms used by the candidates.
