CNN’s Democratic Debate Will Feature Muted Mics, Two Commercial Breaks


The debate is a departure from previous matchups.

That is one of the details that CNN released today for its June 27 event in Atlanta, where Biden and Trump will meet for the first time this cycle. Candidates also will appear at a uniform podium — aka lectern — and the only materials they will be allowed to have with them will be a pen, a pad of paper and a bottle of water. Biden and Trump also have agreed to a Sept. 10 debate sponsored by ABC News, with David Muir and Linsey Davis moderating.
