CNN has just announced the moderators for the presidential debate between former President Trump and Joe Biden taking place next month on June 27.
Both Jake Tapper and Dana Bash are the hosts selected to moderate the debate, which will take place in Atlanta, Georgia at 9 p.m. EST.
Here’s more from Politico:
CNN hosts Jake Tapper and Dana Bash will moderate the first 2024 presidential debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump next month, the network announced Wednesday.
Biden and Trump agreed to participate in two separate debates within minutes of each other earlier Wednesday, one on June 27 on CNN and another on Sept. 10 on ABC News.
The quick agreement on the scheduled debates is unusually early — particularly the CNN debate in June — in that neither the president nor the former president will have formally accepted their party’s nominations by then.
The CNN debate will take place in Atlanta, Georgia, at 9 p.m. EST without a live audience.
Say what you will about it being Tapper and Bash, but this is what Trump agreed to, with seemingly little pushback if any. But I think Trump tends to thrive better in hostile environments so he’s probably counting on that.
