Biden vs. Trump: Clash Set for Two Televised Debates Ahead of Tradition
May 15, 2024US President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump have scheduled two televised debates for June 27 and September 10, a departure from the usual fall timeline.
The Biden campaign has accused Trump of creating 'games and chaos' following Trump's call for a third debate on Fox.
Both debates will be moderated by CNN's Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, with the first being held without a live audience due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Biden insists on strict rules to minimize interruptions, while Trump seeks additional debates and a larger venue for added 'excitement'.
The debates represent a pivotal moment in the ongoing political rivalry between Biden and Trump.
