The latest developments of the first presidential debate of 2024 between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. All times EDT:
8:01 p.m.
Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will hold an alternate debate Thursday night after failing to qualify for CNN's.The event, which Kennedy's campaign is calling the "real debate," will be in front of a live audience and air on X. https://t.co/oRAnRHYHYd
8 p.m.: This debate is a chance for both candidates to try to reshape the political narrative and persuade undecided voters.
Biden, the Democratic incumbent, has the opportunity to reassure voters that, at 81, he's capable of guiding the U.S. through a range of challenges.
Meanwhile, the 78-year-old Trump could use the moment to try to move past his felony conviction in New York and convince an audience of tens of millions that he's temperamentally suited to return to the Oval Office.
Thursday's debate in Atlanta will mark at least a couple of firsts - never before have two White House contenders faced off at such advanced ages, and never before has CNN hosted a general election presidential debate.
