TThe first US presidential debate between President Joe Biden and former president and current Republican candidate Donald Trump will be held on June 27, after the Biden campaign suggested holding the debate at an unusually early date. The second debate will be held on September 10.
Biden and Trump famously fiercely attacked each other in two debates in September and October during the 2020 presidential election, with Trump repeatedly insulting Biden's intelligence and Biden calling him “the worst president in American history.”
While the debates will be primarily watched by a US audience, politically-inclined people around the world may also want to tune in. Here's what people in the UK need to know about the US presidential debates.
