The first of at least two presidential debates is on Thursday. Thursday's debate marks the first time President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump have been face-to-face since the last debate of the 2020 election cycle.
In a poll released by the New York Times this week, among registered voters, when asked if they had to decide now who to vote for, Trump had a 39-32 advantage over President Biden, but 11% couldn't or wouldn't answer.Here is what you need to know and how to tune in:How can I watch the debate? Candidates will be given a pen, a pad of paper and a bottle of water, but they are not allowed to bring any prewritten notes or props with them to the stage, organizers said.For the first time since 1984, leading presidential candidates will debate outside the auspices of the Commission on Presidential Debates. Both the Biden and Trump campaigns criticized the debate-organizing nonprofit for its format.
This week's New York Times poll found that the economy ranked as the No. 1 issue determining a person's vote. Another top issue listed was inflation and the cost of living.
