President Joe Biden, 81, and former President Donald Trump, 78, are currently neck-and-neck in national opinion polls, with less than five months remaining until the November 5 election.

On June 27, the two oldest candidates ever to run for the US President post will confront each other on a televised debate stage. While one candidate accuses his opponent of being “unhinged and a danger to democracy,” the other fires back, labelling his rival as “senile and corrupt.”

President Joe Biden, 81, and former President Donald Trump, 78, are currently neck-and-neck in national opinion polls, with less than five months remaining until the November 5 election.

With a significant number of voters still undecided, the stakes are high for this debate, anticipated more for its potential dramatic clashes than for detailed policy discussions between the Democratic incumbent and his Republican challenger.

When to watch?

The first 2024 US presidential debate between President Biden and former President Trump will take place on Thursday, June 27 at 9 pm ET (Friday, June 28, 6:30 am IST). CNN will host the 90-minute debate at its studios in Atlanta without a live audience.

Where to watch?

You can watch the debate live on CNN, CNN International, CNN en Español, CNN Max, and CNN.com without needing a cable login. CNN will share its feed with other broadcast and cable news networks for a simulcast.
