2024 Presidential Debate Preview: Biden and Trump Face Off in Atlanta, Anticipated Consequences

The first presidential debate of the 2024 general election between Joe Biden and Donald Trump is scheduled for Thursday, June 19, at CNN's studios in Atlanta. Both candidates qualified for the debate stage with Biden largely running unopposed and Trump skipping the GOP primary debates. The debate will be moderated by CNN's Jake Tapper and Dana Bash and last for 90 minutes, starting at 9 p.m. ET.

Biden, who won the coin toss, chose the podium to the viewers' right while Trump opted for delivering the final closing statement of the evening. The debate is expected to cover recent legal dramas involving both candidates and their respective parties as well as issues like economy, immigration policy, international politics, and addressing base support.

Trump is anticipated to announce his pick for vice president in the coming weeks. A vice presidential debate is scheduled for either July 23 or August 13. Trump will appear for sentencing in his criminal trial on July 11, just before the Republican National Convention from July 15-20.

The Democratic National Convention will take place from August 19.

In the lead-up to the debate, both campaigns have taken extraordinary measures in hopes that their candidate will play against type. Trump's campaign argues that Biden is a feeble incompetent disconnected from reality, while Biden's campaign describes Trump as an unhinged extremist with dictatorial designs who snapped when he lost the 2020 election.

The upcoming debate is expected to be one of the most consequential moments of the 2024 campaign. In the 2020 debates, Trump's disastrous performance in the first debate ended his campaign's chances against Biden. In contrast, a measured Trump offered a spirited and coherent defense of his administration's record in the second debate.

Trump delivered a deft summation of his position on opening schools during the coronavirus pandemic at the 2020 debates: 'The cure cannot be worse than the problem itself.'

Our contributors rewatched the 2020 Biden-Trump debates for clues. Here’s what they predict will happen Thursday

CNN News Site: In-Depth Reporting and Analysis with Some Financial Conflicts and Sensational Language Monday, 24 June 2024 11:00
  • Unique Points
    • The upcoming CNN debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump is expected to be one of the most consequential moments of the 2024 campaign.
    • In the 2020 debates, Trump’s disastrous performance in the first debate in Cleveland ended his campaign’s chances against Biden. In contrast, a measured Trump offered a spirited and coherent defense of his administration’s record in the second debate.
    • Trump delivered a deft summation of his position on opening schools during the coronavirus pandemic at the 2020 debates: ‘The cure cannot be worse than the problem itself.’

    The author is making comparisons between past debates and predicting future events based on those debates. This is an appeal to authority fallacy as the author is using past debates as evidence for what will happen in the future without providing any logical reasoning or evidence for why this connection is valid. However, since there are no explicit fallacious statements made by the author, and only one minor appeal to authority fallacy, I am scoring this article a 95.
    • The past isn’t always prologue but this week it might turn out be. That’s what can happen when two bitter rivals for the White House meet for a rematch on a debate stage and their positions on many of the major issues are well-established.
    • But you might have forgotten what happened in the second debate in Nashville, Tennessee, a few weeks later. A measured Trump offered a spirited and coherent defense of his administration’s record. And he rebutted and counterpunched Biden throughout the night without looking like a jerk.
