    The first presidential debate of 2024: When and where to watch Trump vs. Biden

    After an explosive first debate in 2020, no one knows how the showdown between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump will shake out on Thursday.

    The rematch four years later is unique in its timing: presidential debates usually happen in September and October, after the candidates have been formally nominated .

    Trump could try to pin Biden on his age (81 years old) and issues related to inflation and immigration. Biden could also pull the age card on Trump, who is 78 years old. Plus, Biden is likely to press Trump on his criminal conviction and his stance on abortion .

    CNN has rules in place that may keep the drama at bay, but the event could still lend insight into how the rest of the 2024 presidential election could unfold.

    Here is everything you need to know about watching the "CNN Presidential Debate" on TV, streaming or simulcast.
