What we know, and don't know, about the presidential debates
President Joe Biden and Donald Trump have agreed to participate in two general election debates: One in June and one in September
WASHINGTON (AP) — After months of questions about whether general election debates would happen, President Joe Biden and Republican nominee Donald Trump have agreed to participate in two of them: one in June and one in September.
But there are still some nitty-gritty details to be worked out, including the formats of the events and who will moderate. Here's what we know so far:
Trump and Biden have agreed to two debates. The first will held June 27 at CNN’s studios in Atlanta, in a critical battleground state. “To ensure candidates may maximize the time allotted in the debate, no audience will be present," CNN said in a statement. To qualify, candidates must receive at least 15% in four national polls of registered or likely voters that meet CNN’s standards. Moderators will be announced later.
