Get Ready for Presidential Debates

CNN has released details of the first presidential debates of the season, between former President Donald J. Trump and current President Joe Biden. It starts 9 pm on Thursday, June 27. Moderators are CNN's Jake Tapper and Dana Bash.

A vice-presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Trump's yet-to-be-picked running mate will be in July, presumably after the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee that month.

A second Trump v. Biden presidential debate is scheduled for September 10 on ABC News. More details to come.

The live June 27 debate will be 90 minutes, with two commercial breaks, and the microphone of one candidate will be turned off when the other is speaking in response to his question. Both candidates have agreed to appear at a uniform podium design and their podium positions will be determined by a coin flip.
