The June 27 CNN debate will take place in Atlanta with no studio audience.
They include microphone muting, a coin flip and more when the two candidates face off at the network's Atlanta studio on June 27.
Biden and Trump will stand at podiums decided by a coin flip. Their microphones will be muted unless it is their turn to speak, the network said, which is likely to limit how much the candidates can interrupt one another.CNN said they won't be allowed to use any props or pre-written notes but will be given paper, a pen and water.
They were scheduled on May 15, shortly after Biden publicly challenged Trump to participate in two debates. The Trump campaign accepted but pushed for additional debates in July and August, which have not materialized. This month's debate, the earliest ever in a presidential race, comes before the Republican and Democratic conventions later this summer -- when both Trump and Biden will officially accept their party's nominations.
