Biden v Trump: the first presidential debate of 2024, explainedWhen was the last time two US presidents faced each other in an election?
There are a few aspects of this debate that are different from Biden and Trump’s previous encounters, which were organized by the nonprofit Commission on Presidential Debates.
For this election, the two campaigns opted to sideline the nonprofit and attend an event hosted by CNN, and the network’s rules are a little different than those of previous years.
