CNN has finalized the rules for the first presidential debate of the 2024 election cycle, which is less than two weeks.
The campaigns of President Biden and former President Donald Trump have agreed to the rules, CNN said on Saturday, noting that it is not 'impossible' for independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to join the pair on stage. To qualify for the CNN showdown, a candidate must have received 15% support in four separate national polls, and be on the ballot in enough states to reach 270 electoral college votes.
Both candidates accepted the network's invitation to debate last month, agreeing to certain rules and formats that were outlined in CNN letters to their respective campaigns. CNN said there will be two commercial breaks during the debate, and candidates are not allowed to consult with other members of their campaign during that time.
