Election 2024 live updates: Biden and Trump to face off in first debate

President Biden and former president Donald Trump face off in a highly anticipated debate Thursday night hosted by CNN in Atlanta. The stakes in the debate, being held unusually early in the election cycle, are enormous for both men, as they try to shape the narrative of the race and sway undecided voters. Biden and Trump have also agreed to a second debate on Sept. 10, bypassing a decades-old tradition of three fall meetings organized by the bipartisan Commission on Presidential Debates.
