First Biden-Trump debate: What to watch out for
Joe Biden and Donald Trump will meet on June 27 for a special televised debate.
President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump will face off this week in the first presidential debate of the 2024 cycle.
The two favorites for the White House this year are two men well-known in both politics and the media. The two will take part in the 90-minute debate in Atlanta, which moderator CNN said will differ from previous presidential debates by the lack of a studio audience.
