Former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden go head-to-head in the first presidential debate of 2024.
Fast Facts
President Biden, a Democrat, and former President Trump, a Republican, will meet in Atlanta on Thursday for the first presidential debate of the 2024 election cycle, hosted by CNN.
The CNN Presidential Debate will begin at 9 p.m. ET and will be simulcast on the Fox News Channel. Viewers can also tune into Fox’s live coverage before and after the debate for expert analysis.
Only Biden and Trump will be on the stage, as the third party and independent candidates running for the White House — including Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — failed to reach the qualifying thresholds.
The candidates bypassed the Commission on Presidential Debates — which had organized these showdowns every four years for more than three decades — and instead mutually agreed to the rules and conditions offered by CNN.
