President Joe Biden and Republican Donald Trump said they would debate each other in June and then again in September, setting the stage for their first televised face-off of the 2024 campaign 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 on June 27. 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.
