Washington (AFP) - Ahead of their first presidential debate, Joe Biden and Donald Trump are offering sharply different visions of the US role in the world, both in style and substance. The rare matchup between a current and former president puts their stark contrasts on display. Trump during his 2017-2021 presidency vowed to put "America First," with a combative and often isolationist view of the world, while Biden took office in 2021 vowing "America is Back," rekindling relationships with allies. The two presidents have some core beliefs in common. Both were adamant on pulling US troops out o...

New York (AFP) - After taking a beating in the ratings from rivals Fox News and MSNBC, CNN is hoping that by hosting the first presidential debate of 2024, it can win back some cable news viewers. The network, the first in history to earn sole broadcast rights for a presidential debate, offered competitors the chance to pick up its feed Thursday night, under certain conditions. The CNN logo would have to appear onscreen for the duration of the event, and any ads promoting it would have to refer to the "CNN Presidential Debate," according to the Los Angeles Times. CNN declined comment when aske...

Washington (AFP) - Joe Biden and Donald Trump square off for a historic US presidential debate this week, with the stage set for what could be a pivotal moment in the 2024 race as millions of potential voters tune in. The showdown fires the starting gun on what promises to be a bruising summer on the campaign trail, in a deeply polarized and tense United States still convulsed over the chaos and violence that accompanied the 2020 election. With only two debates this cycle, Thursday's high-stakes clash takes on heightened significance, and both candidates have stepped up their personal attacks,...

Washington (AFP) - President Joe Biden and Donald Trump will face off in a 90-minute debate with mutable microphones, broadcaster CNN said Saturday, as it laid ground rules for the first in-person clash between the pair ahead of November's election. The rules for the June 27 debate, which will have two hosts and no studio audience, were agreed by the Biden and Trump campaigns, according to CNN. "Both candidates agreed to appear at a uniform podium, and their podium positions will be determined by a coin flip," the channel said, adding that microphones "will be muted throughout the debate exce...

Washington (AFP) - US President Joe Biden and Donald Trump agreed Wednesday to hold election debates in June and September, with the rivals trading barbs about their first on-stage meetings in nearly four years. The sudden agreement, ending months of uncertainty over whether the debates would happen at all, came after Biden, 81, challenged his scandal-tinged Republican rival to "make my day." Trump, 77, quickly responded that he was "ready to rumble" -- and within hours CNN announced it would host the first debate in Atlanta on June 27 and ABC said it would stage the second on September 10.

Washington (AFP) - Donald Trump on Wednesday challenged Joe Biden to an election debate after the two men emerged from primary voting as the all-but-certain Republican and Democratic candidates in November's US presidential vote. "It is important, for the Good of our Country, that Joe Biden and I Debate Issues that are so vital to America, and the American People," said Trump, who ducked out of every debate in the race for the Republican nomination. "I am calling for Debates, ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, ANYPLACE!" he wrote on his Truth Social platform. Trump, 77, sewed up the Republican nomination duri...

Des Moines (United States) (AFP) - Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis pitched Republicans Wednesday on their bids to be the 2024 presidential candidate in the final debate before nominating begins -- but spurned repeated chances to make the case for abandoning front-runner Donald Trump. The head-to-head showdown in Iowa capital Des Moines came five days before the state's pivotal opening vote in the primary season, considered crucial for winnowing the field and giving those left standing a springboard for the rest of the race. Trump has a commanding lead despite the multiple legal challenges he face...

Alpharetta (United States) (AFP) - The leaders of two of the largest US states went head-to-head Thursday in a prime-time debate offering contrasting views of how the deeply-polarized nation should be run -- and a preview of how the 2028 White House race might look. Republican Florida governor Ron DeSantis and Gavin Newsom, his counterpart in Democratic California, have been hammering each other for years over their vastly differing outlooks but the at times bad-tempered debate marked their first in-person clash. The pair represent almost one in five Americans -- California is the largest US s...

Simi Valley (United States) (AFP) - Seven US presidential hopefuls tussled over immigration, China and the economy Wednesday at the second Republican primary debate -- but saved some of their most strident remarks to slam frontrunner Donald Trump for spurning the showdown. The former president, who is battling multiple criminal cases, has decided to skip the debates, and instead met auto industry workers in the battleground state of Michigan. Trump's no-show prompted former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie -- the ex-president's biggest antagonist among the candidates -- to accuse the 77-year...

Milwaukee (AFP) - It is the widely-recognized party symbol uniting Republicans, but the only elephant in the room at the first US presidential debate was the one that didn't show up. "Trump's on the stage every day. He gives two-hour speeches," Donald Trump's eldest son Don Jr told AFP, explaining his father's decision to skip the event. "He spends more time with the press -- even the ones that hated him, even when he was president -- than anyone." The younger Trump was upbeat about his father's 2024 election prospects, but angry at being blocked from the press interview area by Fox News, orga...
