According to CCTV News, at 9:00 pm Eastern Time on June 27, US President Biden and former President Trump participated in the first debate of the 2024 presidential election in Atlanta. The debate was hosted by CNN and lasted about 90 minutes.
Earlier, Biden announced that he would not participate in the traditional televised debate organized by the bipartisan Presidential Debate Commission, but would instead participate in two presidential debates hosted by news organizations with Trump.
The second debate will be hosted by ABC and is scheduled to take place on September 10.
According to the Global Times, the latest poll data shows that as of June 25, Trump leads Biden by an average of 1 percentage point in national polls; in key "swing states", Trump leads by an average of 3.2 percentage points. A poll released by Emerson College in May showed that about 10% of voters have not yet decided who to support in this year's presidential election. Mitchell McKinney, a political communication scholar at the University of Akron, said that this year's presidential election "may be decided by a difference of one or two percentage points", so the importance of the candidate's televised debate cannot be underestimated.
According to China News Network, the debate between Biden and Trump will make history, becoming the first debate between the current president and the former president. This is also the first time in four years that the Biden-Trump debate will be staged again. #热门话题 #总统辩论
