The Biden-Trump Presidential Debate LIVE ON JUNE 28, 2024 | 11:00AM ET

On Thursday, June 27, CNN will host the first presidential debate of the 2024 election cycle. After months of speaking at each other in campaign rallies, Joe Biden and Donald Trump will finally have an opportunity to directly engage in discussion. Domestic politics often dominate presidential debates, but with ongoing conflicts in Europe and the Middle East in addition to U.S.-China competition, 2024 could be different.

The morning after the debate, FP’s Ravi Agrawal will discuss foreign-policy takeaways with two London-based observers of U.S. politics: Leslie Vinjamuri, the director of the U.S. and Americas program at Chatham House, and Gideon Rachman, the chief foreign affairs commentator at the Financial Times.
