So, Biden and Trump will have a presidential debate after all. Here's what you can expect

U.S. President Joe Biden and Republican former President Donald Trump finally agreed on Wednesday to face off in two debates on June 27 and Sept. 10, which will be the most watched election event of the 2024 race for the White House.

"As you said: anywhere, any time, any place," Biden said on social media.

Trump called his opponent "the worst debater" and said that he was "Ready and Willing to Debate Crooked Joe at the two proposed times in June and September" on his platform, Truth Social.

CNN said the first debate on June 27 would be held in its Atlanta studio with no audience and moderated by anchors Jake Tapper and Dana Bash.

The candidates also accepted an invitation from ABC News, which will host a second debate on Sept. 10. A separate vice presidential debate has been proposed for July, after the Republican National Convention but details remain to be worked out.

The first debate is expected to take place after the Group of Seven summit in Italy in mid-June and Trump's criminal trial in New York.
