The 2024 United States presidential debates were a series of debates held during the upcoming 2024 U.S. presidential election. The first general election debate between two major party candidates was moderated by CNN and attended by then-presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden and then-presumptive (at that time) Republican nominee Donald Trump on June 27, 2024.^[1][2][c] After the first debate, Biden withdrew from the race in July because of his poor performance, and Vice President Kamala Harris has replaced by being selected as the Democratic presidential nominee, while Trump became the official Republican nominee in the same month.^[3][4][5] The second debate, which was moderated by ABC, was held on September 10, 2024.^[6]

There were previously four debates sponsored by the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) scheduled between September 16 and October 9, 2024. Biden and Trump both objected and scheduled a debate themselves.^[7]

After Biden withdrew from the race, Trump suggested that the September 10 debate should be held by Fox News. Trump also suggested about additional debates on September 4 on Fox News and September 25 on NBC, the Harris campaign has not yet announced whether would participate in the two additional debates, instead of negotiating a presidential debate in October.^[8][9][10]

A vice presidential debate was held on October 1, 2024 on CBS News.^[11]
