Biden and Trump Set to Debate on CNN with New Format and Commercial Breaks

Presidential candidates clash over debate topics as CNN introduces ad breaks, bypassing traditional commission oversight.

  • Biden and Trump will debate on June 27 and September 10, hosted by CNN and ABC respectively.
  • CNN's decision to include commercial breaks marks a departure from the non-partisan Commission on Presidential Debates' format.
  • Both campaigns have outlined preferred topics, with Biden focusing on abortion rights and democracy, while Trump emphasizes immigration and public safety.
  • The Commission on Presidential Debates faces potential irrelevance as candidates negotiate directly with networks.
  • Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has filed a complaint over exclusion from the debates.
