The 2024 United States presidential debates are a series of scheduled debates between major candidates of the 2024 United States presidential election. Four general election debates sponsored by the Commission on Presidential Debates are scheduled to be held between September 16 and October 9, 2024. As of April 27, 2024, both major parties' presumptive nominees, Donald Trump and Joe Biden, have confirmed their intention to participate in a televised debate with one another ahead of the 2024 election.[1][2][3]Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has had consistent polling advantages large enough to swing the results of the election, has also repeatedly cited that his polling qualifies him to participate, and has challenged both major candidates to participate in a debate.[4][5]
