President Joe Biden and Donald Trump have agreed to participate in two general election debates: One in June and one in September
After months of questions about whether general election debates would happen, President Joe Biden and Republican nominee Donald Trump have agreed to participate in two of them: one in June and one in September. But there are still some nitty-gritty details to be worked out, including the formats of the events and who will moderate. Here's what we know so far: THE DETAILS:Trump and Biden have agreed to two debates.
The networks have yet to announce who will moderate the debates, a decision that could prompt objections, particularly from Trump, who has strong opinions about many prominent anchors. Trump's campaign is also pushing for more debates.
The deal between the campaigns now sidelines the Commission on Presidential Debates, the nonpartisan group that has organized them for more than three decades. Both campaigns had expressed longstanding concerns about the commission's operations, with Trump blaming it for microphone issues during a debate in 2016 and Biden's campaign calling its plans “out of step with changes in the structure of our elections and the interests of voters.
