DETAILS: The Trump vs. Biden CNN Debate
Perhaps motivated by cratering poll numbers, President Biden’s campaign team proposed to debate President Trump twice before the 2024 presidential election. President Trump wholeheartedly accepted the challenge, posting on Truth Social, “Let’s get ready to Rumble!!!” Now CNN will host the first debate on June 27.
Today’s exciting development all started when President Biden posted a video challenging President Trump to two debates. He even quipped that he heard that Trump is “free on Wednesdays” – usually an off day for trials. Clearly, Biden was throwing some shade.
The Biden campaign also issued a list of requirements for the debates. When we saw the requirements, we didn’t think Trump would agree to them, but he did very quickly.
One of the main requirements is that the debate would be held on a mainstream news network – so CNN will host the first debate without an audience present. I’m very interested in seeing who CNN picks to moderate – and whether the moderator can avoid becoming an active participant.
Further, the microphones will be cut off when a candidate’s time is up. An insightful viewer on today’s show asked if the microphones shutting off could hurt Biden since it takes him so long to formulate his thoughts. It’s a fair question.
Most notably, Biden’s terms ensure that no third-party candidate will be allowed on the debate stage. We can all recall in the ’90s when Ross Perot played spoiler to President George H. W. Bush being reelected. He doesn’t want RFK Jr. there.
The fact that RFK won’t be present at the debate stings a little. He’s polling around 10%, which is substantial. RFK could have a sizable impact on the election for those who don’t want to vote for either Trump or Biden.
The scheduled debates are likely a very good development for President Trump because he’s been mired in negative news surrounding his never-ending trials. He will have the opportunity to shine on the debate stage, where he typically does well (even if the first presidential debate against Biden in 2020 didn’t go so well).
Trump has a major advantage in having a strong economic record to tout. On the other hand, Biden can’t defend his economy at all. It will be interesting to see if Trump can stay out of his own way during the debate.
