Jake Tapper (00:32):
We are live from Georgia, a key battleground state in the race for the White House. In just moments, the current US president will debate the former US president as their party’s presumptive nominees, a first in American history. We want to welcome our viewers in the United States and around the world to our studios in Atlanta. This is the CNN Presidential Debate.
Dana Bush (00:57):
This debate is being produced by CNN and is coming to you live on CNN, CNN International, cnn.com, CNN Max and CNN Espanol. This is a pivotal moment between President Joe Biden and Former President Donald Trump in their rematch for the nation’s highest office. Each will make his case to the American people with just over four months until election day. Good evening, I’m Dana Bash, anchor of CNN’s Inside Politics and co-anchor of State of the Union.
Jake Tapper (01:28):
I’m Jake Tapper, anchor of CNN’s The Lead and co-anchor of State of the Union. Dana and I will co-moderate this evening. Our job is to facilitate a debate between the two candidates tonight. Before we introduce them, we want to share the rules of the debate with the audience at home. Former President Trump will be on the left side of the screen, President Biden will be appearing on the right, a coin toss determined their positions. Each candidate will have two minutes to answer a question and one minute each for responses and rebuttals. An additional minute for follow-up clarification or response is at the moderator’s discretion.
Dana Bush (02:05):
When it’s time for a candidate to speak, his microphone will be turned on and his opponent’s microphone will be turned off. Should the candidate interrupt when his microphone is muted, he will be difficult to understand for viewers at home. At the end of the debate, each candidate will get two minutes for closing statements. There is no studio audience tonight. Pre-written notes, props, or contact with campaign staff are not permitted during the debate. By accepting our invitation to debate, both candidates and their campaigns agreed to accept these rules.
Jake Tapper (02:40):
Now, please welcome the 46th President of the United States, Joe Biden.
Joe Biden (02:47):
Folks, how are you? Nice to be here, thanks.

BTTT!
This ought to be hilarious. How will voice recognition software capture Biden’s glossolalia?
I see they finished Bidens thought for him when trump said he couldn’t understand him.
I don’t see the part where Trump called Joe ‘Brandon’. Pretty sure he did. I would have sworn he did. I want to say it would have been in the first 10 or 15 mins.

Brandon, just speak to him. But look, we had the safest border in history, now we have the worst border in history. There’s never been anything like it, and people are dying all over the place, including the people that are coming up in caravans.
