As the November general election approaches, all eyes are on the key dates leading up to it, with June 27 marked as a crucial moment in the political calendar. On this day, President Joe Biden and his predecessor, former President Donald Trump, will engage in a pivotal debate, marking the first such event for both candidates in this election cycle.
Trump, viewing the GOP primary contenders as unworthy opponents, opted out of earlier debates, while Biden has notably steered clear of debates with independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. This has set the stage for an intense one-on-one showdown that political pundits are eagerly awaiting.

Hosted by CNN, a network not known for its pro-Trump leanings, the debate is shaping up with several agreed-upon rules that promise a structured and perhaps more disciplined exchange than past encounters. Among the stipulations, an important rule is that all microphones will be muted except when a candidate is speaking, aiming to prevent the frequent interruptions that have marred previous debates.
Both candidates will also adhere to traditional podium use, with positions decided by a coin toss. However, in a departure from past practices, neither Trump nor Biden will be allowed to use note cards or props, which could pose a particular challenge for Biden who has often used such aids.
