0:32Now PlayingPresident Joe Biden and Republican Donald Trump said they would debate each other on June 27, setting the stage for their first televised face-off of the 2024 campaign months earlier than expected.
Biden said Wednesday in a post on X, formerly Twitter, that he “received and accepted” an invitation from CNN to debate Trump. Trump’s campaign later said he also agreed to attend. The event will take place at 9 p.m. New York time at the network’s Atlanta studios in swing-state Georgia, CNN said in a statement.
The decision erases uncertainty about whether Biden and Trump would square off on stage before the November election. TV debates have become a staple of US presidential campaigns, but the president and his predecessor had previously balked at the schedule and terms laid out by the non-partisan Commission on Presidential Debates, which have controlled the affairs since 1988.
