In a significant development towards the 2024 US Presidential Election, Donald Trump and Joe Biden are set to face each other in a historic debate, as announced by CNN. To ensure a more orderly discussion than their previous encounters, new rules have been established, including muting the microphone of the candidate not speaking. The debate, scheduled earlier in the campaign season than usual, marks the first time either candidate has participated in a debate for this election cycle, given Biden’s unopposed run and Trump’s absence from the Republican primary debates. The event is anticipated by around six in ten American adults, who plan to watch it live or engage with it through various media.
