2024 presidential debates: Commission announces dates and locations

The Commission on Presidential Debates has revealed the schedule for the upcoming presidential debates, with the first debate set for September 16 at Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas. This marks the earliest start to the presidential debate schedule in history.

Changes in the debate schedule

The schedule tweak means that the debates will end earlier than they ever have, with 27 days between the last debate and Election Day on November 5. This is compared to 12 days in 2020 and 20 days in 2016.

Uncertainty surrounding the debates

It’s not certain the debates will actually happen, as the Republican National Committee voted to withdraw from its participation in the commission last year. The scheduling change could make it more likely that the debates will take place, but the future remains uncertain.
