Presidential candidates Joe Biden & Donald Trump agree to at least two debates before Election Day.

-President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump have both accepted invitations to debate on live TV at least twice before the Nov. 5 General Election. 

Many have asked to hear from both presidential candidates side-by-side.

The first debate will be hosted by CNN on June 27.   The location will be in CNN’s Atlanta studios with no audience present, according to a news release from the network on May 15.  The debate will start at 9 p.m. ET and the moderators will be Jake Tapper and Dana Bash. 

A second debate will be hosted by ABC on Sept. 10.   It’s unclear if there will be an audience and what time the debate will begin, though the network said it would be held during “prime time.”  David Muir and Linsey Davis will moderate the debate, the network announced. The debate will air on ABC News, ABC News Live, and Hulu—and will also be simulcast on additional broadcast and streaming news networks, ABC said.

A vice-presidential debate is also expected to take place before early voting begins in September, with both campaigns expressing interest in a debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and the soon-to-be-announced Trump running mate.

 

 Additional debates could be announced later in the election cycle.

What this adds up to, then, is this: no more lies, no more pretense. Tell your neighbor the truth. In Christ's body we're all connected to each other, after all. When you lie to others, you end up lying to yourself.
