Here we go, the first Presidential debate between Biden and Trump begins at 9 PM Eastern/6 PM Pacific.

How to watch it:

https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/25/politics/how-to-watch-cnn-debate/index.html

"The CNN Presidential Debate will air live on CNN, CNN International and CNN en Español, and via streaming on Max for subscribers and without a cable login on CNN.com. CNN will make the debate available to simulcast on additional broadcast and cable news networks.

You can also follow CNN’s live debate coverage on CNN.com, which will include analysis and fact checking."

"According to parameters set by CNN in May, all participating debaters had to appear on a sufficient number of state ballots to reach the 270 electoral vote threshold to win the presidency and receive at least 15% in four separate national polls of registered or likely voters that meet CNN’s standards for reporting.

Polls that meet those standards are those sponsored by CNN, ABC News, CBS News, Fox News, Marquette University Law School, Monmouth University, NBC News, The New York Times/Siena College, NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist College, Quinnipiac University, The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post."

Edit And that’s it! Thanks for watching everyone!

tl;dw:

Consensus is Trump didn’t so much as beat Biden as Biden beat himself.

The real loser is CNN who failed to fact check anyone, and there were obvious fact checks on both sides.

    Joe studdered, and it broke his rhythm.

    Joe needs a glass of water.

    He needs to clam down too. He’s all over the place.

      Joe is pissed, I think. He can’t get the rebuttals out quick enough and it’s messing up his composure. That’s the problem though, trump tells so many lies so fast that Biden simply cannot cover them all.

      Agreed. He’s not putting on a good showing.
      Biden is on point for the topics, where Trump is just full of shit, but he needs to slow down. One might think he really is on some kind of speed.

      Don’t worry, after the debate they’ll give him a plate of creamed corn and a bingo card.
