CNN Announces Finalized Rules For First Trump/Biden Debate

Virginia Kruta, The Daily Wire: Final rules for the latest Presidential debates

CNN has announced the final rules for the first scheduled debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, stating on Saturday that both camps had agreed to a number of stipulations for the event set to take place on June 27th.

According to the report published Saturday, both Trump and Biden have agreed to a 90-minute face-off with two commercial breaks — which will be hosted by “State of the Union” anchors Jake Tapper and Dana Bash — during which neither candidate will be allowed any contact with members of their campaign.

In addition, the former president and the current president — whose 2020 debates were marked with insults and interruptions from both parties — have also agreed to have microphones muted when it is not their turn to speak. They will not be permitted to bring notes or props, but they will each be given a bottle of water, a pen, and paper for use during the debate.
