President Biden and former President Donald Trump will go head-to-head in presidential debates on June 27 and Sept. 10, their campaigns said Wednesday.
Both parties are cutting out the nonpartisan committee thats been running debates for 30 years.
I don’t think people are remembering CNN was bought by a right-wing billionaire who flat out said his plan was to make CNN more like Faux News and fired every employee who spoke out against it.
Not that CNN was great before that, but this will be a total shitshow
Let’s be real though, the nonpartisan committee has been doing a real shitty job running the debates in recent years. No order, bad questions, shitty crowds full of wooping plants, allowing candidates to shout over eachother and make faces or side comments, etc.
America doesn’t need a repeat of the last 2 election cycles.
I agree mostly. The one thing I really like is that there won’t be an audience. It really just turned into who can get the most applause. I know I’m naive but if this can be more like the Nixon/Kennedy debate, that would be so much better than what the presidential “debates” devolved into in recent years.
They have preemptively decided that the mic will immediately be turned off for the non-speaking party. So fortunately that won’t be an issue this time.
Two really old guys yelling at each other. Should be entertaining to watch CNN cut Trump’s mic multiple times.
It’s going to be a shit show…

the commission on presidential debates was made by the two major parties because they wanted more control over the debates. Its always been a farce.

Yeah, audience is dumb.
Both sides just cram in people that will cheer for their team and boo the other no matter what
We just need to see them think and talk without just reading off a teleprompter.
It’s less about the policy and more which geriatric candidate can string together sentences that make sense.
So hopefully we get that at least.
Found the optimist
CNN will be forced to when Trump can’t shut his fucking mouth for 30 seconds.

I’ll believe it when I see it. Because ratings.
If that’s true, that’ll be a game changer.
