President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump have each arrived in Atlanta for this evening’s CNN debate, an event that many predicted would unravel when it was first announced last month.
Biden arrived at about 3:15 p.m. ET, and greeted an entourage that included former UN ambassador Andrew Young and Stacy Abrams. Also spotted, per a pool report: Jeffrey Katzenberg, who is serving as campaign co-chair.
Later, Biden greeted supporters in downtown Atlanta, hugging Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA), who is serving as one of the campaign surrogates.
Trump’s plane landed at about 5:30 p.m. ET, and he waved and gave a fist sign to cheering supporters.
Both Trump and Biden carefully descended the steps from their respective aircraft — as any kind of slip or fall would quickly overshadow the vigorous images they are trying to convey in the lead up to the event.
The candidates will face each other at 9 p.m. ET, for a 90-minute debate that is hosted by CNN at their Atlanta studios. But the network also is making its feed available to other broadcast, cable and streaming outlets, meaning that the event will have the similar wall-to-wall reach of past general election matchups.
Most media will be reporting on the debate in and near McCamish Pavilion, where CNN has set up a press filing center and a red carpeted spin room, with the network’s logo plastered throughout the facility.
The network pushed back against rumors that the debate would have a one- to two- minute delay to allow for editing. “This is false. The debate will begin live at 9 pm.” But there have been a series of rumors about the event, some being spread by Trump and his allies that Biden would be using performance enhancing drugs.

What in the hell did we just watch?!
Brian Stelter In the hour leading up to President Joe Biden‘s disastrous debate performance on Thursday, I peeked inside the flashy studio where MSNBC‘s biggest stars were previewing how Donald Trump could derail the proceedings, and I saw megawatt smiles. The hosts were in the middle of a commercial break and clearly savoring one of the biggest political nights of the year; Rachel Maddow made a joke and everyone cracked up. I was at 30 Rock for an appearance on NBC’s streaming news service.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic I hate to be the bringer of bad news, but Donald Trump didn’t just give a better performance than Joe Biden during the first 2024 presidential debate. In terms of authority and confidence, quickness and poise, articulation and verve, Trump left Biden in the dust. Relative to his previous debate performances, Trump even came off as (God help us) presidential.
Brian Steinberg Senior TV Editor The media tried to keep the current President and the former one on a short leash Thursday evening, but failed in many ways to keep them in check.
