The Biden campaign reached out to schedule debates first and set some conditions for the debate, including that they be conducted by news organizations, not the bipartisan Commission on Presidential Debates, and should have no in-person audience to limit disruptions. The first debate scheduled for June 27th is the earliest ever in a presidential race  and comes before the Democratic and Republican conventions later this summer — when both Biden and Trump will officially accept their party’s nominations.
