CNN has unveiled the final presidential debate rules for the first debate event taking place on June 27 in Atlanta, Georgia. This will include microphones getting cut off when it is not the candidates' turn to speak.
The decision to mute the mics comes after 2020 when Trump went hard after Biden to the point where the moderators had to step in, according to the Daily Mail. The rule appeared to some to be targeting the former president. Each candidate will be given the same podium and position will be determined by a coin flip. No props or pre-written notes are allowed, however, candidates are allowed a pen and paper as well as a bottle of water.
Additionally, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. may still qualify for the debate. CNN, over the weekend, said that it was not "impossible" for Kennedy to qualify at this point, noting that a candidate needs to have gotten 15 percent support in four national polls to also take the stage, per Fox News.
