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 except for the candidate whose turn it is to speak."

No props or notes will be allowed on stage, with candidates only given a pen, pad of paper and a bottle of water, CNN said.

It said the debate, hosted in Atlanta, Georgia, will last 90 minutes with two commercial breaks -- during which campaign staff cannot interact with their candidate.

"Some aspects of the debate –- including the absence of a studio audience –- will be a departure from previous debates," CNN said.

But, the network said, moderators Jake Tapper and Dana Bash -- both star news anchors for CNN -- "will use all tools at their disposal to enforce timing and ensure a civilized discussion."

There’s far too much at stake to have allowed them to stack the deck.“

I am 100% Trump but his bottomless confidence comes back to bite him sometimes.

Biden will collapse and die on the set and they will arrest Trump on the spot for circumstantial homicide saying he intentionally stressed out joe biden causing a cerebral fillintheblank.

Why does the RNC, and why do Repub. candidates, keep agreeing to debates hosted by left-wing hacks who do everything they can to slant the debate towards the Dem. by interrupting the Republican every 10 seconds, challenging every point, and letting the Dem spout out nonsense, unchallenged.

It happens every 4 years. I don’t get it.

I think you are optimistic.

I’ll be surprised if slow Joe doesn’t come up with some excuse to back out.

The rules should include the same amount of camera time for both, with no cutaways when Biden freezes or stutters or makes gaffes or wanders off the stage or through the stage.
= = =

They might do that, but what parts are shown/broadcast?

And how will the debaters know or see what is being broacast?

They probably won’t - that’s like ‘using notes”.

So in a sense, Trump could be shouting down an empty well.

Trump can move his lips and appear to be shouting, but be silent.

So will the mic muters start clicking their mute on and off and get confused? Maybe then need to stop and check the wiring?

My fictional version.

Again, for about the 10th time, stop posting to me.

I have asked to stop posting to me. Your insults and namecalling need to stop.

Jim recently wrote on this, “I’ve been asked to chime in, so I’m chiming ... You know the guidelines and rules. I don’t need to repeat them again and again and again. We are mostly adults here and mostly Christian conservatives ... Before you post that next profane post or personal attack just ask yourself, what would Jesus do.” See https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4243242/posts

And more from Jim: “...if someone says STOP, then STOP! If someone asks you to take them off your ping list, then take them off! If someone asks you to stop posting to them, the adult and polite thing to do is to accommodate them.” See https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4166577/posts

And of course there is the FR homepage, “...use common courtesy when posting and refrain from posting personal attacks, profanity, vulgarity, threats, racial or religious bigotry, or any other materials offensive or otherwise inappropriate for a conservative family audience...” See https://freerepublic.com/home.htm

So, again, stop posting to me.

How is Biden going to be able to stand for 90 minutes even if he is all tanked up on drugs? The guy belongs in a hospice, not a debate stage.

With or without drugs, Biden is going to be very challenged to stand. There, his only support will be the podium. It will be truly historic if he goes to fall over and Trump jumps in to save him. ;)

Else, he could watch and then say oops.

Both CNN hosts have called Trump Hitler. One added Mussolini
