Biden and Trump to Face Off in CNN Presidential Debate
Event Set for June 27th at 9 PM ET
Tapper and Bash to Moderate 90-Minute Debate
WASHINGTON - President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are set to face off in a historic showdown on CNN's June 27 presidential debate. The event, set to begin at 9 PM ET, will be moderated by CNN's Jake Tapper and Dana Bash and will run for 90 minutes.
The debate will be the first time Biden and Trump have faced off on stage since the 2020 election. It will be a high-stakes event for both candidates, as Biden looks to maintain his lead in the polls and Trump seeks to regain his footing in the race.
The debate plans came together quickly last month after Biden's campaign said in a letter that he was willing to debate his Republican challenger. The announcement came after months of speculation about whether or not the two candidates would agree to a debate.
The debate will likely focus on a wide range of issues, including the economy, the pandemic, and foreign policy. Biden and Trump are expected to clash on a number of these issues, as they have on the campaign trail so far.
