PREVIEW

On May 15, President Biden and former President Trump agreed to debate each other on June 27 and Sept. 10, Politico reports. The first debate will air on CNN, and the second one will be shown on ABC News. CNN has revealed that its debate moderators will be Jake Tapper and Dana Bash. The debate will take place in Atlanta at 9 p.m. EST.. There will be no live audience. The early debates come as both Biden and Trump have declined to "participate in the Commission on Presidential Debates' proposed schedule," Politico reports. The debates will also occur before either candidate formally accepts their respective party's nominations. Meanwhile, the accelerated timeline will prevent any third-party or independent candidate from potentially participating in the debates. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. took to X to make his opinion known. "Presidents Trump and Biden are colluding to lock America into a head-to-head match-up that 70% say they do not want.", "They are trying to exclude me from their debate because they are afraid I would win. Keeping viable candidates off the debate stage undermines democracy.", "By excluding me from the stage, Presidents Biden and Trump seek to avoid discussion of their eight years of mutual failure including deficits, wars, lockdowns, chronic disease, and inflation.", Robert F. Kennedy Jr., via X
